They weren't fastbreaking in the second half. Look at the stats. They couldn't miss. They shot >70% for 3. Nigeria played a flat 2/3 zone, so they US made a point of NOT attacking the basket and drawing fouls. They just settled for the outside shot, which is generally what experts say you shouldn't do. It's just that everything went in.

Kevin Love made a 3 with 4 seconds on the shot clock. They were just moving the ball around and when an inside move got cut off, the pass went out to him and he shot it without any hesitation. It went in.

What are they supposed to do? Miss on purpose?
