The United States men’s basketball team continued its impressive run of form in preparation for the upcoming FIBA World Cup with a 108-86 victory over Greece on Sunday. The win marks the fourth consecutive victory for the Americans, who have now improved to 4-0 in their World Cup preparation games.
The US team was led by a strong performance from guard Donovan Mitchell, who scored a game-high 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting. Mitchell was joined by forward Jayson Tatum, who added 21 points and seven rebounds, and guard Kemba Walker, who chipped in 18 points and five assists.
The US team was able to take control of the game early, opening up a double-digit lead in the first quarter and never looking back. The Americans shot a blistering 54 percent from the field and held Greece to just 39 percent shooting.
The US team also dominated the glass, outrebounding Greece 44-27. The Americans also forced Greece into 17 turnovers, which they converted into 22 points.
