It took a while, but after after losing consecutive games, one player to “health and safety protocols” and another to injury, Damian Lillard and the United States Men’s Senior National team wrapped up their run of friendlies leading up to the 2021 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo with an 83-76 win versus Spain Sunday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
“I think we came in saying we were a group of talented individuals and we were working towards becoming a team, and I think we've gotten better each game since we've been in Vegas,” said Lillard, who started all four games in the USA’s exhibitions.
