Lillard And Team USA Best Argentina For First Win In Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS -- Team USA might not be “back” just yet, but they looked a whole lot closer to it Tuesday afternoon than they had in their first week of preparation for the 2021 Summer Olympics.

After losing their first two games of a five-game exhibition schedule leading up to the upcoming Olympics, the United State’s Men’s team defeated their Argentinian counterparts 108-80 in front of a crowd of 4,697 Tuesday at Michelob ULTRA Arena on the grounds of the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas.

“Some of the players haven’t played in a while, let alone practicing together,” said Men’s National Team head coach Gregg Popovich.
