Team USA Defeats South Sudan in London (Sports)
July 20, 2024
Team USA nearly lost a game that they were expecting to win by a million points. The team was pretty inconsistent throughout the game with a ton of turnovers. They have only been practicing together for about a month, but still that first half was pretty sloppy.
LeBron James saved the team with a go-ahead layup with 8 seconds left and escaped with a 101-100 win over South Sudan, coming back from a 16-point deficit to avoid what would have been the biggest upset in the program’s history.
At least this was an exhibition game, and I am sure the team will ramp things up when Olympic group play starts next week!
Also, I think Anthony Davis should start over Joel Embiid.
