US Rolls Past Senegal
Posted on August 25th, 2006 by
An almost no contest match compared to the close finish last game against Italy. Looks like Bosh finally got some minutes and took advantage.
Dwyane Wade rose from his seat to acknowledge the crowd chanting for him in the closing minutes of the United States’ victory.
That was the only work Wade put in all night.
Wade had the night off, and the rest of the Americans essentially got a breather, too, in a 103-58 victory over Senegal on Thursday night at the world championships.
Even if his team didn’t miss him, the fans did, and began chanting for the NBA finals MVP with less than 4 minutes to play. Wade eventually stood and waved, drawing a roar.
“That was a first for me,” Wade said. “It was a great experience, though. We play our heart out here to entertain. We gained some fans on this trip.”
Chris Bosh scored 20 points and LeBron James added 17 in limited duty for the U.S. team, which remained unbeaten. #
