USA team split up today and played an intense game that ended up being won on a kobe jumper

The thing that impressed me with the box scores is it appears that the players they have picked for specific roles are fulfilling those roles.

Examples being:
- Mike Miller (outside shooter) 5-15 from the arc. Needs to improve %, but at least taking the shots he's meant to.

- Deron Williams (distributor) 13 assists

- Chandler (defence), 13 rebounds and 2 blocks

- Redd (shooter) 4-11 from the arc. Refer to Miller.

- Bryant/Melo (scorers) 26 and 28

Howard (defence and high % offence) 9 rebounds and 21 points at 100%

- Durant/Lebron/Amare (all round game)

SVD, Paul is recovering from surgery he had on his foot right after the season finished.

Was this game televised anywhere? Sounds like it would be good to get hold of.
