Every since the addition of professional players back into the Men’s Basketball Olympic games, Team USA has been dominate. This Rio Olympics seem to be no different. By already dominating China in their first preliminary round game, Team USA again took the court, but this time their opponent was Venezuela.
Team USA crushed Venezuela, 113-69.
What is more shocking?
The fact that Team USA outscored Venezuela by 42 in the second and fourth quarter or that Venezuela was outscored by Team USA by a mere two points in the first quarter and third quarter combined. The biggest shock to come out of this game was that Team USA was tied at the end of the first quarter.
