Team USA struggled with sloppy exhibition play, losing two of its four tune-up games in Las Vegas ahead of the 2020 Summer Olympics. The team's woes carried over to Tokyo as the Americans dropped their first game in the group stage against France. The loss marked the United States' first Olympic defeat since 2004, and also snapped its 25-game Olympic winning streak. After three quarters of play in Tokyo, Team USA owns an 82-43 lead over Iran and looks much more like the group fans were expecting to see in this tournament.
Despite plenty of star power, the Americans struggled with cohesion in Sunday's 83-76 loss against the French. They failed to hang on despite leading 74-67 as they were outscored 16-2 to end the game. Jrue Holiday, who is fresh off winning an NBA championship with the Milwaukee Bucks, led Team USA in scoring with 18 points along with seven rebounds and four assists in the loss. Bam Adebayo also tacked on 12 points and 10 rebounds for the U.S. Kevin Durant, meanwhile, scored just 10 points and fouled out. The U.S. faces Iran for the first time in men's basketball at the Olympics. Iran also lost its opener, falling to the Czech Republic, which faces the United States Saturday.
The U.S. has no reason to panic and should be fine as long as it wins its next two games vs. Iran and the Czech Republic, which would likely lead to a berth into the medal round. Follow below for all the real-time updates between Team USA and Iran.
