Here's how ESPN put it:

"Things are not looking good for the NBA stars on the U.S. Olympic basketball team."

"The Americans needed a final-shot 3-pointer by Allen Iverson from just across midcourt Wednesday to pull out an 80-77 exhibition victory over Germany -- a team that failed to even qualify for the Athens Games."

"Duncan led the Americans with 19 points, followed by Carmelo Anthony with 16 and Iverson with 15. But the United States again struggled against a team thought to be no competition."

"Nowitzki scored a game-high 32 points."

and Fox sports:
"Trailling 40-44 at halftime the Germans briefly took alead 53-51 lead after 25 minutes play, before US co-captain Allan Iverson clinched victory with three points off a shot from the halfway line."

Snatched victory from the half way line... not good at all.
