Team USA ran away with a 105-73 victory over the Dominican Republic to open the FIBA Americas U18 Championship this afternoon. For a team stacked with five-star talent, it was a result most expected.
The biggest storyline of the day, however, came from the game’s top performer. And it’s a player Kentucky fans should be pretty familiar with.
UK target Cole Anthony led the team in points with 18, but Kentucky commit Tyrese Maxey was the easily best player on the floor, finishing the day with 14 points (5-8 shooting), five rebounds, three assists, and three steals.
