Rosen "Speechless", U.S.A. "Did What We Went Over There to Do"

PHILADELPHIA - For Zack Rosen and the United States Open Men's Basketball Team, an exhilerating yet gruelling three-week trip to Tel Aviv culminated with a thrilling overtime victory against Israel in the championship final of the 18th World Maccabiah Games. The Americans defeated the host country, 95-86, to clinch the gold medal on Wednesday, with Rosen providing 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists against 1 turnover.
