Multi Sports Paris 2024 Olympics
Posted 2 months agoThe United States continues its pursuit of a fifth consecutive Olympic gold, advancing to the quarter-finals after a decisive victory over South Sudan.
Ranked 33rd in the world, South Sudan's Bright Stars couldn't keep up with the 16-time champions, falling 103-86 at Pierre Mauroy Stadium.
The USA took control from the first quarter and maintained their lead, with Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat scoring 18 points and grabbing seven rebounds.
Nuni Omot led South Sudan with a game-high 24 points.
While the game was entertaining, it lacked the drama of their previous encounter earlier this month, where the USA had to overcome a 16-point deficit to win 101-100 in a London warm-up game.
