Team USA overcame their first minor hiccup in the 2023 FIBA World Cup, trailing by one point at halftime to Montenegro. Thanks in part to Anthony Edwards scoring all 17 of his points in the second half, the Americans finished strong for the 85-73 victory over Nikola Vucevic and company.
Now, they go up against Lithuania, who is also a perfect 4-0 in the group stage. Technically, the stakes are a bit low this morning, as both teams are already guaranteed to advance to the quarterfinals. However, the winner will get ostensibly an easier path moving forward, getting to play the second place team from Group I next, as opposed to the winner of that group.
