Team USA's Anthony Edwards and Jordan's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson went back-and-forth racking up points as the Americans wrapped up pool play 3-0 with a 110-62 win over Jordan.
Edwards seemed to delight in the meeting with Hollis-Jefferson, the former NBA player who came in as the event's second-leading scorer and one of the happy stories of the first week. He matched up defensively with him and clearly had great bounce and energy.star threw in several dunks, three 3-pointers and even a behind-the-back pass. Edwards finished with 22 points in 19 minutes and, illustrating just how much he was into the game, also had eight rebounds and four assists.
Hollis-Jefferson finished with 20 points and 7 rebounds, though he was slowed after spraining his left ankle on a drive to the basket in the first half. In a moment that sort of summed up the show, Edwards scored on back-to-back breakaways during the third quarter. On the first, Jordan's Amin Abu Hawwas tried to get in Edwards' way and forced him to abandon a highlight dunk attempt and settle for a layup. Edwards gave him a sideways look for ruining the chance.
