Team USA led by just two at the end of the first quarter but out-scored Norway 26-10 in the second to lead 43-25 at the half.

"It feels good to just play basketball again and get back out on the court after a loss," Haws said. "Everyone for the most part came out well. We got off to a little bit of a slow start, but we got it going and were able to get a pretty good lead. We shared the ball really well, and I think most of the guys scored, so it felt good.Visit usabasketball.com for more game coverage."
