FIBA World Champions Germany: The United States of America have completed their perfect performance in Group C of the men’s basketball event at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a 104-83 win over Puerto Rico making it three wins in as many games sealing their No.1 seed in the quarterfinals. The reigning champions were led by young star Anthony Edwards as the Timberwolves’ franchise player came off the bench to score 26 points on an impressive 11-15 shooting on the night.
LeBron James went for 10 points, eight assists and six rebounds on a quiet night by his standards but still managed to give the fans a show with dunks, behind-the-back passes and electrifying blocks.
Interesting scenes transpired ahead of the final whistle as Joel Embiid was once again jeered by the French crowd. Embiid holds dual American and French citizenship but chose to represent the USA instead of the country that is acting as host to the 2024 Olympics.
