Portland Trail Blazers and Team USA guard Damian Lillard isn't pressing the panic button following the United States' 83-76 loss to France at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo on Sunday.
According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, Lillard said the following after Team USA's disappointing defeat:
"I think we have a history of dominance and maybe not always blowing people out, but we have a history of winning. And it's not often that you see Team USA go out there and lose, especially to start.
"I think that's why a lot of people will make it seem like the end of the world, but our job as professionals and this team and representing our country at the Olympics, we've got to do what's necessary and we still can accomplish what we came here to accomplish.
