The U.S. National Team got their first taste of international competition with a closed scrimmage against China on Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. With the Garden about 95 percent empty, it wasn't quite the same atmosphere as when these two teams last met (opening night of the 2008 Olympics). The score was reset after each quarter, but in total, the U.S. won 98-51. China, however, did win the fourth quarter 17-16.
