The United States made it through unscathed in the group stage of the men's basketball tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics, but head coach Steve Kerr is still expecting to see more once the knockout rounds tip off.
"I think we got done what we wanted to accomplish, winning all three games and securing the top seed," Kerr told reporters. "We know we have to play better. Part of this tournament is it gets harder as you go."
The U.S. not only went 3-0 in Group C but also had a plus-64 point differential. Germany (plus-47) was the next closest country.
