The United States Men’s National Basketball defeated Poland 87-74 in their final game of the 2019 FIBA World Cup. Team USA headed into the morning coming off back to back losses for the first time since the 2002 FIBA World Championships but righted the ship with a scorching start highlighted by excellent ball movement.
Derrick White replaced an injured Kemba Walker at point guard in the starting lineup, and didn’t miss a beat. The third-year San Antonio Spur assisted on four of the American’s first five buckets and got himself on the board with 5 points in the opening period.
