The casual NBA fan has no idea who Eric Gordon is — mostly due to the fact that he plays for the Los Angeles Clippers. However, that may be changing. Eric Gordon is making a name for himself on Team USA. On Wednesday, Gordon led past Greece by pouring in 18 points in only 21 minutes, while shooting 6-for-11 from the field and 4-for-7 from three-point land.
Thanks to Gordon’s strong play, Team USA beat Greece by a final score of 87-59. Kevin Durant had 15 points and seven rebounds. Derrick Rose (13) and Kevin Love (10) were the other Americans in double figures.
Kostas Tsartsaris led the way for Greece with 24 points. Unfortunately for Tsartsaris, he didn’t get any help. No other player on Greece scored more than eight points and while Tsartsaris was 9-for-12 from the field, the rest of the team was 11-for-37.
No the games will begin to count for Team USA. Though this American squad is small and inexperienced, they have made great strides in recent weeks and look to be a powerful favorite heading into the basketball World Championship.
Here’s a video of Eric Gordon and Team USA as they took down Greece:
