Saturday’s semifinals, the Americans will take on Lithuania, who beat China in the day’s first quarterfinal. Marcus Smart had 14 points while Aaron Gordon, Jahlil Okafor and Michael Frazier had 12 each. “I thought our guys got off to a pretty good start offensively, I just though defensively we had some breakdowns and loose balls that allowed them to stay close,” said USA and University of Florida head coach Billy Donovan. “I really, really like the fact that things were not necessarily going well for our team and we kept battling though. I was really pleased with the way we started the second half.” Incoming Syracuse freshman Tyler Ennis had 11 for the Canadians.
