Team USA is now the No. 1 overall seed for the rest of the Olympics.
All-NBA Los Angeles Lakers superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis once again proved critical cogs in the well-oiled machine that is Team USA men's basketball, helping power the club to its third consecutive group play competition on Sunday, besting Team Puerto Rico 104-83. The victory propels USA Basketball to the No. 1 overall seed throughout the rest of the tournament. Team USA now moves on to the knockout round of competition, as part of the eight-team quarterfinals.
Davis was once again demoted to a bench role behind a prolific-but-inefficient Joel Embiid . Davis scored 10 points on 3-of-4 shooting from the field and 4-of-4 shooting from the charity stripe, grabbed six rebounds, passed for three assists and blocked two shots in 15 minutes. Most importantly, Davis submitted his standard All-Defensive acumen, pummeling the opposition on the low block.
