Team USA will take the floor on Wednesday afternoon for its second game of group play at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
On the heels of a 5-0 exhibition slate, the Americans pulled away from pesky Serbia to open the Summer Olympics with a 110-84 win on Sunday afternoon. Kevin Durant scored 23 points off the bench, while LeBron James added 21 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.
“That’s the best game we’ve played so far,” James told reporters after the win.
It’s a promising sign for Team USA, which will look to further showcase its improvements in a rematch with South Sudan. When the two teams met less than two weeks ago, the Americans rallied out of a 16-point deficit to stave off a stunning upset, escaping with the 101-100 victory on a game-winning basket from James.
South Sudan continues to impress, notching its first-ever Olympic men’s basketball win with a 90-79 victory over Puerto Rico on Sunday. The stage is now set for the two unbeaten teams in Group C to clash Wednesday afternoon.
