scored eight of his 19 points in the third period, was followed by a basket
from Hollis-Jefferson to pull the USA back within three points, 63-60. After a pull-up jumper from Andrew
Harrison brought the USA within two points, 64-62 at 3:31, the World Team once again successfully distanced itself, closing with an 11-6 run to end the third stanza with a 74-66 lead. The USA never quit fighting, and
despite 10 points from Parker in the final 10 minutes, the USA could get no closer than nine points. “In a 40-minute game, giving up 112

Kasey Hill (Montverde Academy/Eustis, Fla.), and it was the only time the USA would lead in the game. Trailing 10-4 at 7:27, Andrew Harrison scored nine of his points over the next seven minutes to help the USA battle back to finish the first stanza down 23-21. The second quarter began with an
8-0 World Team run that was halted by a bucket from Bobby Portis (Hall H.S./ Little Rock, Ark.) at 8:02 that brought the score to 31-23, but the World Team continued to pull away. With 2:57 to go before halftime,
7-foot World Team center Karl Towns, Jr. converted an old-fashioned three- point play to give the internationals their largest lead of the first half, 47-31. The USA fought back, and five U.S.
scorers helped close the gap to six points, 49-43 with just 8.9 seconds remaining on the clock. Canadian Andrew Wiggins was fouled on a last- second, 3-point heave, however, and sank all three free throws to give the World Team a 52-43 at the half. Gordon, who finished with nine
points, completed a three-point play early in the third to cut the deficit to seven, 53-46, at 9:21. The World Team respond- ed with five unanswered points, however, and led 58-46 when 6-foor-9 French for- ward Livio Jean-Charles, who was the No. 28 overall draft choice of the San Antonio Spurs and finished with a game-
points and 38 in the fourth quarter… that’s kind of an aberration because we were trying to change the tempo of the game,” Jones said. “But prior to that, as many points and as many opportunities that they had in the paint, as well as the offensive rebounding, really killed us.” The World Team compiled a 50-35
advantage on the glass, including 20 offensive rebounds, and set several Nike Hoop Summit World Team records, including points scored (112), margin of victory (14 points), field goals made (38) and assists (24). Russia’s Sergey Karasev tied the World Team high for 3-point attempts with six. The USA was plagued by 16.7
percent shooting from 3-point (3-18 3pt FGs) and 61.8 percent accuracy from the free throw line (21-34 FTs). Germany’s Dennis Schröder con-
tributed 18 points and six assists for the World Team, Wiggins tallied 17 points and nine rebounds and Australian Dante Exum added 16 points. “Obviously, I’m very pleased with
the result,” said World Team head coach Roy Rana (Canada). “That was a really good game for the World Team, and probably the most impressive thing is the way we’ve shared the ball from the very first practice.” The Nike Hoop Summit is the coun
try’s premier annual basketball game featuring American’s top senior high- school boys basketball players against a World Select Team comprised of elite athletes age 19-and-under from around the World. The USA is now 11-5 all-time in the Nike Hoop Summit.
