and behind two 3-pointers from Mikhail Kulagin, took the lead 8-6. Stokes tied the game with a
power move inside that launched the U.S. on a game-clinching 16-1 run that saw the Americans grab control 22-9 with 3:03 to play in the quarter. Taking a 30-13 lead into the second
quarter, the USA’s defensive pressure continued to disrupt the Russians, and by halftime things were well in hand and the U.S. led comfortably, 57-30. The U.S. scored the first six points
of the third quarter, led 87-41 when the third quarter came to close and sailed on to the impressive 115-47 victory. For the contest, the U.S. shot 56.8
percent; outrebounded the Russians 62-35; and had 18 assists on its 46 made baskets. The U.S. defense did a job on Russia. Russia was limited to just 33.3 percent shooting overall, only 21.7 percent from 3-point (5-23 3pt FGs), and was forced into 27 turnovers.

Montrezl Harrell earned a second gold medal after aiding the USA to the 2013 U19 World Championship title. Harrell, who started in nine games and averaged 10.6 points a game, recorded a USA high 17 points in the gold medal game.
USA 91, Brazil 66 On an evening when Brazil jammed
up the USA’s powerful inside game, Sulaimon found his shooting eye long enough to hit 5-of-9 3-point tries and score 15 points as the USA battled Brazil evenly for the game’s first two quarters before exploding in the second half and earning an impressive 91-66 victory. “I just have to thank my teammates
– Marcus (Smart), and all the other guards, Elfrid (Payton), they did a great job of drawing the defense and kicking it to me and all I had to do really was just catch and shoot,” remarked Sulaimon. “I’m hoping we can learn from it
because I didn’t think our energy level was even remotely close in the first half to what it had been in the first three games,” said Donovan. “Hopefully our guys understand you have a half or a game like that going forward you could be eliminated pretty quickly. We happen to be better than Brazil so we were able to maybe get away with a sluggish half, only being up by six. But I was much more pleased in the second half. I thought we played with really good energy and enthusiasm and excitement.” Only leading 40-34 at half, Brazil
opened the third quarter with a hoop to cut the gap to four points, 40-36. As had been the case in its first three games, but not in the first 20 minutes of its second round game against Brazil, the U.S.
cranked up the defensive intensity, found its defensive focus, and ripped off 18 straight points to take control 58-36. The run featured scoring from five dif- ferent USA players, with Sulaimon drain- ing a pair of 3-point- ers and Smart con- tributing four points.
From there the
USA marched to a 69-48 lead after three quarters, and on to the eventual 91-66 win.
Stokes scored
the USA’s first five points to help the U.S. to a quick start,
but Brazil remained within reach and handled the U.S. press. The U.S. led 20-17 after the game’s first quarter, and
