Team USA trounces Jordan, goes undefeated in the first round of FIBA World Cup

The result was never in question, as Team USA blew out Jordan 110-62 on Wednesday. With the win, Team USA finishes the first round of the FIBA World Cup 3-0, and are now heading to the second group stage.

The Lakers’ very own Austin Reaves wasn’t the World Cup darling he’s been the past few games — he was more so just another rotation player in the win ended the night with 8 points — but NBA All-Star Anthony Edwards was spectacular, scoring 22 points on 8-16 shooting.

Steve Kerr chose to alter the starting lineup by inserting Josh Hart in place of Brandon Ingram, and that first group didn’t struggle against Jordan.
