US Knocks Off Brazil In World Cup Play

It was a close game at the half with the US holding just a four point lead but the US pulled away in the third and fourth.

Kemba Walker and Myles Turner led the way with 16 each. Jaylen Brown tossed in 11.

Duke products Jayson Tatum and Mason did not play. Tatum was held out due to his injury and Plumlee was a coach’s decision.

Team USA’s FIBA win streak is up to 58 and the win puts them in the quarterfinals as the #1 seed, joining Argentina, Serbia, France, Spain, Poland, Australia and the Czech Republic.
