James Harden and Stephen Curry showed confidence with the US National Team following straight wins in the FIBA World Cup.

According to Curry "We just stick to the program. We know it's tough for any team to run with us for 40 minutes because of how deep we are and how hard we work on the floor. I think we understand we didn't make many shots in the first half but our defense was pretty solid and if we kept the pressure on them, things would open up."

Although both Harden and Curry were not able to make any shots in the first half game against Slovenia, they are still confident of the rest of the team. Klay Thompson scored 20 points and Harden had 12 of his 14 in the third quarter, helping the U.S. turn a close game into a 119-76 rout of Slovenia.

U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski was also positive of the second half of the game saying "I said, 'I don't think that'll happen in the second half' and it didn't."

He added "I thought we played really hard the whole game and we just couldn't finish in the first half some of those plays. and then they stayed with it and then the floodgates opened in the second half."

Derrick Rose finished with 12 points after coming into the game shooting 8 for 37 in the World Cup. Anthony Davis had 13 points and 11 rebounds.

According to Slovenia coach Zdovic Jure "We prepare but it's easy to prepare on the paper. Definitely they were so athletic, they were more aggressive second half and actually they punish every mistake."

"We try hard but around 23 minutes it was like, close, the game. But the power that they have, you know, it was too much for us."

Harden was 0 for 8 in the half while Curry missed all four of his shots. Harden said "They kind of slowed us down in that first half, dictated the tempo and Coach talked to us second half about playing our brand of basketball and how we like to play. And we came out with that intensity."

The US team will play Lithuania on Thursday in Barcelona for a spot in Sunday's gold-medal game in Madrid.
