Everything went swimmingly for Team USA in its 57-point victory over China on Saturday - save for one embarrassing gaff on the part of Paul George.
George is a world-class defender, but he was straight-up embarrassed on a crossover by Chinese point guard Zhao Jiwei in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter. George tried to pressure Zhao in the backcourt, but Zhao broke out a hesitation dribble that left George seated on the hardwood.
That lowlight earned George a bit of delicious trolling from his Indiana Pacers teammate Lavoy Allen.

George's response was just as ruthless.
