LAS VEGAS – The first look at this year’s version of Team USA Men’s Basketball for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics began ugly before turning the volume to dominance and hanging on for an 86-72 win against Canada at the T-Mobile Arena to open their slate of exhibition games.
Team USA trailed 21-14 after the first quarter where they turned the ball over eight times, had only three assists and were 1 of 7 from 3-point range. The second quarter was a different story, giving Team USA a 41-33 lead. They held a 14-point lead after three quarters, going up 69-54 for the final 10 minutes of play.
