2020 phenoms Jalen Green and Scottie Barnes, along with 2019 talents Vernon Carey Jr., and Isaiah Stewart, among others, helped lead Team USA to a 120-71 victory over Canada (5-1) in the semifinals last night. The 49-point victory for the USA was the largest margin of victory ever recorded in a men’s FIBA U17 World Cup semifinal. Their 120 total points were the most points ever scored in a semifinal, as well.
Green led the team with 25 points, followed by Barnes with 18 points and four assists, Stewart with 12 points, and Carey Jr.
