The U.S. team improved to 3-0 at the 2014 FIBA World Cup with Tuesday’s 98-71 win over New Zealand in Bilbao, Spain.

The kiwis kept the game close early thanks to making five of their first 10 3-point attempts, but as many NBA teams can attest, it’s a dangerous to enter a 3-point contest in a game that features the Splash Brothers. The Warriors backcourt duo combined to make four of their first five 3-pointers, and the U.S. took control of the game by doubling up New Zealand, 30-15, in the second quarter.

Stephen Curry finished with 12 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals while shooting 2-for-3 on 3-pointers. Klay Thompson also made a pair of treys and finished with 12 points in the win.
