Basketball: USA Men Dominate Iran To Get Back On Track In Tokyo

After falling to France in their Olympic play opener, the US Men’s Olympic Basketball Team got back on track on Wednesday afternoon with a 120-66 victory over Iran (0-2), getting their first win of Olympic play.

USA Head Coach Gregg Popovich made two changes, inserting Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker into the starting lineup. This led to a faster lineup that got up and down the court in transition, stretching the floor and making shots.

The Americans went 19-for-39 from three-point range with Damian Lillard dropping seven as he scored 21 points. Jayson Tatum added 14 and Zach LaVine added 13 for the USA, who faces the Czech Republic on Saturday.
