Margin of victory among USA's best

MADRID -- The competition at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup certainly could have been tougher.

Tough to dispute that claim when Team USA had each of its ‎nine wins in this tournament wrapped up before the fourth quarter.

Yet it should also be noted that this collection of American players -- only half of them NBA All-Stars -- will return home with an average margin of victory that more than lived up to the usual standards of USA Basketball.

‎The following list shows the average margin of victory for each of the 16 USAB squads to participate in various FIBA and Olympic events since pros were ushered into international basketball starting in 1992.
