Game Rewind: USA 110, Nigeria 66 (Exhibition)

The United States Olympic basketball team completed its exhibition tour with a fifth consecutive blowout victory on Monday, this one a 110-66 win over the Nigerian Olympians in Houston.

The team will fly to Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, and open Olympic pool play on Saturday against China.

Pacers forward Paul George sat out a second straight game with a strained left calf muscle. Kyrie Irving missed Monday's game with a left thigh contusion. Both injuries are minor, and their absence from the game was a precautionary measure.

"We rested Paul and Kyrie tonight," U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said afterward.
