Can't say I ever subscribed to the notion this game was unloseable for the Warriors. Blazers can be tough and defend at home.

Cooper Flagg hasn't had his usual overall impact in this scrimmage--he looks a little worn down athletically. But he has shot the ball very well as a spotup threat this week.

USA makes the move to Asa Newell at center here in the 4th. That's probably their best group offensively, paired with Flagg and Bailey at forward and Harper in the backcourt. Guessing that would be their closing group as some of the other bigs have struggled.

Ace Bailey has also been really impressive in this scrimmage. Playing mostly off the ball, he's had some great cuts for dunks, nailed his spotup 3s, and rotated well defensively. He's playing a winning brand of ball tonight.

Fabulous 2nd half for Dillon Harper as USA Select is finally getting separation from the Portland Generals. Harper shut off the water on Trent Perry and has been using his tight handle and big body to get to the rim at will.

How was Carter Bryant not picked for this team.

Tight matchup between Nike Hoop Summit USA team and the Portland Generals just before halftime. Generals have a 1 point lead, and have come out looking to prove they should have been on the team, led by Trent Perry and Carter Bryant.

Is the Christian Braun dunk the best ever in-game dunk by a white guy? What are the other candidates? I thought of Chambers on Jackson and Walton on Kareem in the '77 playoffs. Bob Sura had a couple, so did Birdman. I don't think any measure up honestly.

Clippers are getting way better shots than the Suns right now, just missed 3 straight wide open 3s

Malone kept Jokic in to get 40 for the MVP narrative?

That Christian Braun dunk on Gobert is maybe the most surprised I've been on a dunk since Manu put one down on the Heat in Game 5 of the 2014 Finals. Off the left foot like that, it's always a layup with the left hand.

The rarely seen jump ball over-the-back-breaker!

No idea how that wasn't Reid's 5th. Really bailed out for that foul to be on NAW at least from the angle I saw.

Wolves are really struggling to get matched up defensively. Multiple possessions where Gobert was on Jackson led to Gordon getting plays at the rim.

Cooper Flagg and Ace Bailey guarding each other in a full court 1-on-1 drill has been great theater for prospect nerds Nike Hoop Summit
