LAS VEGAS (AP) — The United States Olympic Men’s Basketball Team has avoided its first three-game losing streak in the era NBA-eligible players.
Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal each scored 17 points and the Americans took control from the outset, beating Argentina 108-80 in Las Vegas.
Zach LaVine scored 15 for the U.S., which lost its first two games in Las Vegas to Nigeria and Australia.
It was 15-4 USA before the game was even 3 1/2 minutes old. The lead was as much as 17 later in the opening quarter.
