Essays can be formal, informal, satirical, even poetic. Literature's evolution...

For a Team USA squad that was still talking about the lessons learned from a slow start against Turkey a week ago, this was a success. Unlike that pool play game in which they trailed at halftime before surging in the second half, it was yet another quick start (25-13 early on and 42-27 at the half). Kenneth Faried (Denver Nuggets) continued his impactful World Cup showing with eight points and eight rebounds to counter the Gustavo Ayon show for Mexico (25 points, eight rebounds). It's a...
