Half Time: USA 43, Italy 22.
Celeste with 4 points on 2 of 3 shooting at the half. Couple of hustle plays on a long rebound led to a jumper and then going to the ground for a loose ball to get possession.
Zia Cooke made a beautiful spin move just 2 minutes before the half for a bucket. It was impressive (and traveling).
The US struggled at times to get the ball across half-court when Italy went to the full court press. Too much dribbling against a double team. I assumed players at this level would be unfazed by it but they did get much better as the half wore on.
