No. 5, U.S. defeat Lithuania
by Paul Kingston

In another show of American hoops dominance, the U.S. Olympic team defeated Lithuania on Friday, 120-84.

Jason played only 11 minutes, finishing with three points, a rebound, two assists and three steals.

Still, according to John Schuhmann of NBA.com, J-Kidd looked solid:

The point guard situation is starting to get really interesting. Jason Kidd played just 10:51 tonight, two 5 1/2 minute stints at the beginning of each half. I thought he played pretty well in the first quarter. He was active, picking up a steal and two assists.
