The USA Men’s National Basketball Team will take on Spain just a day after taking care of Slovenia. Team USA was dominant against a Slovenian team missing their best player, Luka Doncic, but this matchup will be much different.
Spain is one of the top-ranked teams in FIBA and will be a much more formidable, complete team than Slovenia was. On top of the overall talent and experience, Spain is also facing Team USA in Spain, which gives them a home-court advantage. With Team USA playing them on the back end of a back-to-back, this will likely be the first real test of this young USA squad.
