On Sunday evening in Japan (Sunday morning in the United States), the U.S. suffered their first loss in the Olympics since 2004, snapping a 35-game win streak. The loss was a disappointing 83-76 outcome against France in which Team USA struggled to score, but almost more noticeably, struggled to play as a team.
USA vs Iran Men’s Basketball “They (Team USA) are better individually, but they can be beaten as a team,” said French SG/SF Evan Fournier after the game.
