It was a quite good game from France except in the middle of the 4th that has proved their lack of experience.
Angola is a quite good team and plays well, too bad that they are at least 2" too shoort at each spot.

BTW, France has reached his goal (top8) even without parker and with a lot of mistakes : they have been lucky with the WC draw.

was it a slow, half-court game? France shoots 53% but scores only 68 points.

France has slow down the game a lot because they get a 10 points lead very soon in the game and because they they were better in half-court plays than Angola with their size.

Extremely boring game, sorry. I liked France defensive intensity at times, and Angola's athleticism and speed... nothing else positive to say about the game. Angola was pretty bad from behind the arc.

France has NO shooters whatsover, and with the game in control, they almost choked it away at the end. Angola's lack of experience was clear when closing the game.

spurs vs detroit spirit..

Actually, it reminded me of the first half of game 1 Spurs vs Nets series. Some sporadic good defense, but horrid basketball.
