Meanwhile, Rose went 0-for-4 from the field, including 0-for-2 from the three-point line, but did hand out six assists, as he can chose to play decoy and play-maker for his teammates.

In the nine games of the tournament, Rose finished shooting 15-for-59 (25 percent) from the field, and a dismal 1-for-19 from beyond the three-point line.

He did lead Team USA in downplaying his poor numbers, however, giving himself an “A’’ heading into the weekend.

“Looking back at it, my whole mindset was just getting on the team,’’ Rose told reporters.
