Anthony Davis knows that Team USA won't have an easy road to a gold medal at the Paris Olympics.

The Los Angeles Lakers star addressed the team's shortcomings in exhibition games and said they will need to clean things up as they begin to play games that count this weekend.

"When that first game starts, it's time to go and it counts for real," Davis said (20-second mark). "Our mistakes that we made have been corrected, talked about, watched in film. So now, we have to play almost perfect basketball, mistake-free basketball if we want to win a gold medal.
