Team USA has been too good so far in the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
The top-ranked Americans flexed their offensive prowess Wednesday (Philippine time), scoring a mighty 122-87 victory over Brazil in the quarterfinals of the men’s basketball competition in Paris 2024.
All 12 Team USA members played and scored, with six in double figures.
Devin Booker led the way with 18 points, followed by 17 from Anthony Edwards off the bench as Team USA scored their most points in the Olympics since London 2012, beating Argentina 126-97.
Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis added 14 and 13 points, respectively, while LeBron James was good for 12 points and nine assists, despite a brief trip to the locker room after getting inadvertently getting elbowed in the face.
For good measure, Kevin Durant went for 11 points in the victory.
The decisive win sets up a semis clash between Team USA and Serbia in the semifinals. The Americans won 110-84 on opening day of these Olympics.
Bruno Caboclo carried the fight for Brazil, finishing with 30 points in a losing effort.
