USA on a 15-0 run

[SlappyCajun]

Although, we have been on a serious run. Maybe just going with hot hand. We'll know more if he doesn't start second half.

He picked up 2 fouls in the first 4 minutes then came out.

Start of 3rd quarter USA 55 Australia 20
Payton back in the game, sigh of relief.

[wcd35]

He's starting the 2nd. It was probably just fouls and hot hand
