TEAM USA'S NEXT GAME
The U.S. Men’s National Team built a double digit lead early and the game’s result was never really in doubt in Saturday’s 86-63 win over Mexico in the FIBA World Cup’s Round of 16.
As Warriors fans have grown accustomed to, Stephen Curry took the game over in the third quarter. He scored 11 straight points in a two-and-a-half minute stretch for Team USA, including three 3-pointers. Curry shot 6-for-9 from distance and paced the U.S. squad with 20 points and four assists.
Klay Thompson also had a strong game with 15 points, five rebounds and three assists. The Splash Brothers were the two highest scoring players for Team USA, and Curry’s red hot stretch put the game out of reach as the U.S. squad eased to its sixth win in as many games at the World Cup.
