We can rest a little easier now knowing that Team USA is again blowing out an inferior opponent at the FIBA World Championships. Led by an early burst from Derrick Rose, Team USA is now all over Iran, leading 62-39 after three quarters.

Team USA’s defensive rotations still appear to be a bit slow, but they are getting out in transition and overwhelming the less talented Iranians. They have now forced Iran to commit 34 turnovers, a staggering number that probably can’t be duplicated.

Kevin Durant has 12 to lead Team USA, while Rose now has 11 after a strong third quarter.
