BILBAO, Spain -- James Harden scored 17 points, Stephen Curry added 14 and the unbeaten U. Jason Pierre-Paul Buccaneers Jersey .S. national team wrapped up pool play with a 95-71 victory over Ukraine on Thursday at the Basketball World Cup. Anthony Davis finished with 12 points for the Americans, who will face Mexico on Saturday night in Barcelona in the round of 16. The Mexicans finished fourth in Group D. It was closer than the usual U.S. game, but the Americans were never in any danger of losing in the second half after seizing control just before halftime against a methodical Ukraine team coached by former NBA coach Mike Fratello. The only scare was a hard landing by starting guard Kyrie Irving with 1:12 left, but he eventually got up and walked off holding his lower back. The Americans left later Thursday for the next round, held in the city where the famed U.S. Dream Team won gold in the 1992 Olympics. International fans and journalists still refer to a U.S. squad as the Dream Team, though this one doesnt rise to that level. But despite some significant player losses that left them with the youngest team they have sent to an international competition since pros could be used, the Americans have shown an occasional ability to dominate like some of their more potent predecessors. They still managed to finish close to their tournament-best average of 104 points despite not making a field goal for nearly the first 5 minutes of the game. The Ukrainians were eliminated from contention after finishing 2-3, Fratello saying they were told they fell short by one point in point differential and lost tiebreakers. Fratello is a longtime TV analyst who returned to the sideline in 2011 to work for Ukrainian federation president Alexander "Sasha" Volkov, one of his former players with the Atlanta Hawks. His team made the Americans work for nearly a half, then ended up getting blown out like everyone else. The U.S. had another poor start, though this one may have been chalked up to a lack of intensity in a meaningless contest, with the No. 1 seed from its group having been clinched a day earlier. There were hundreds of empty seats behind the basket that had been filled for the first game by Finland fans whose team lost. They didnt miss much early from the Americans, who took nearly half of the opening period to make their first field goal and trailed for much of the first half. Ukraine led 19-14 after one and was still ahead 27-25 midway through the second before the Americans finally put a spurt together. Curry nailed a pair of 3-pointers as the U.S. outscored Ukraine 19-5 over the final 4:43 to take a 44-32 into halftime. It grew to 69-54 after three, but a couple quick baskets at the beginning of the period got the Americans off and running toward an easy final quarter, though there were some concerned faces when Irving lost his balance after leaping and landed with an easily heard thud. Vinny Curry Jersey . The team announced that it exercised the options on 15 players including goalkeepers Evan Bush, Maxime Crepeau and Troy Perkins, defenders Matteo Ferrari, Karl W. Vita Vea Buccaneers Jersey . Hicham Khalouas late goal improved Almerias chances of avoiding relegation in a match dominated by contentious calls, including three penalties. One day after Barcelonas 4-3 win at Real Madrid featured three penalties, referees again dominated a wide-open game that saw Almeria ultimately move out of the relegation zone and one point ahead of Getafe which took its place. http://www.buccaneersfootballpro.com/Buccaneers-Alex-Cappa-Jersey/ . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Light-heavyweight champion Jon (Bones) Jones and challenger Daniel (DC) Cormier turned the other cheek Friday, essentially electing to ignore each other at the weigh-in for UFC 182.There was no shortage of emotion, however.Cormier came out wearing a Break Bones T-shirt and an intense look, motioning as if he had a championship belt around his waist. After weighing in at the light-heavyweight limit of 205 pounds, the former Olympic wrestler paced up and down his side of the stage as he waited for the champion to come on stage.Jones came bearing gifts, throwing out T-shirts before he climbed the steps onto the stage at the MGM Grand Marquee Ballroom before a crowd of several thousand. He was still loudly booed, however.Jones, who also weighed 205 pounds, kept an eye on Cormier as he stripped down before getting on the scales and UFC president Dana White stepped up to ensure Cormier didnt get any ideas as he approached the scales on his mini-laps. Jones smiled as Cormier paced.The rivals came to blows at a photo-op in August in the lobby of the hotel, a brouhaha that netted both men fines and community services. They exchanged words but not blows at a media availability Thursday.All eyes were on Saturdays staredown at the weigh-in.After both men were done with the scales, Jones eelected not to face Cormier when they came together for the traditional onstage pose. Carlton Davis Jersey. Instead he faced the audience, arms at his side and with no expression on his face. That prompted Cormier, his arms behind his back, to face the other way — the back of the stage.White hovered just behind them in case tempers flared, but nothing happened.Jones (20-1) and Cormier (15-0) will face each other for real Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, which was occupied by Justin Timberlake on Friday.You know what man, Im just going to stay undefeated, the 35-year-old Cormier said in a brief interview on stage after the weigh-in. You know its very telling that these people cheer for me and they dont even like me, they just hate Jon Jones.Jones, 27, was unfazed by the crowd reaction.Hey guys, if you love me make some noise, he said during his interview, drawing cheers. All right, all right.The relaxed champion said he was supremely confident.I definitely have plans on doing great things, he said. And I know doing great things never comes easy, so Im not expecting this to be an easy challenge. But Im excited about it because I do believe Ill end up victorious.All the other fighters also made weight and there was little heat as they met on stage. ___Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Cheap Chargers Hoodies Cheap Browns Hoodies Cheap Texans Hoodies Cheap Ravens Hoodies Cheap Panthers Hoodies Cheap Jets Hoodies Cheap Titans Hoodies Cheap Chiefs Hoodies Cheap Bills Hoodies Cheap Colts Hoodies Cheap Cardinals Hoodies Cheap Buccaneers Hoodies Cheap Rams Hoodies Cheap Jaguars Hoodies Cheap Falcons Hoodies Cheap Bengals Hoodies ' ' '
