On Monday, Team USA will play Greece as part of the Group Stage schedule for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
In its opening match against New Zealand, the United States got off to a poor start, down by 10 points early on and only led by one point going into the second quarter. Before the break, it promptly got back on track and never looked back, winning with ease, 99-72.
Paolo Banchero, the current Rookie of the Year for Team USA, led the team and displayed glimpses of his superstar ability with 21 points and four blocks. Austin Reaves contributed 12 points and a team-high six assists, while Anthony Edwards scored 14 additional points.
The United States will be facing a Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Greece team that just defeated Jordan comfortably (92-71).
Will Team USA be able to be defeated by Greece? All the details you need to tune in are provided below.
