A lot of the teams we played just played to survive. Canada clinched an Olympic berth in the other semifinal, defeating Puerto Rico 83-71 behind 26 points from Steve Nash of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. As has usually been the case with the Americans in this tournament, no one player stood out Saturday. Tom Gugliotta scored 10. Every time a coach or a player has a dream in his heart, some of them show it, others don't show it.
Some people tell the dream, some people keep it to themselves.
