USA Basketball is doing well in the run-up to the FIBA World Cup. The team was 3-0 prior to playing Greece in an exhibition game in the UAE and after that one, it’s 4-0 with the US winning 108-86. It’s important to remember that the Greek side is without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is rehabbing after knee surgery. Even so, it’s an impressive win. Greece is a well-run and mature national program.
And interestingly, coach Steve Kerr has started the same five for each game, which is somewhat unusual for the US in international competition.
But it’s working and the players seem to be responding.
