Team USA Beats Czech Republic Behind Tatum's 27

TOKYO (USA Basketball) — After a sluggish start, the U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball Team (2-1) earned a spot in the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 with a 119-84 win over the Czech Republic (1-2) in the final Group A game at Saitama Super Arena on Saturday night.

The win locked up second place in the group for the U.S behind undefeated France (3-0). The Americans' 82-point differential across their three games means they most likely will be the top second-place group finisher and enter the quarterfinals in Pot D with the three group winners.
