Klay Thompson had 30 to push Team USA past France in another close game as the team moves towards the Quarterfinals on Wednesday.
Team USA finished preliminary play 5-0, topping France 100-97, but Paul George's frustration following their close win over Serbia still resonates. George felt the team was relying too much on their talent to beat teams, and there was no adjustment in that front to suggest they learned from the previous two games. George was moved back to the bench with Klay Thompson moving back into the starting lineup.
It didn't work well for Team USA in the early minutes, with France leading late in the first quarter as the second unit entered.
