The Americans didn't have their best performances in the friendly matches, but they still came out on top with five wins out of five. In the first game of the Olympic group stage, the U.S. team came out strong and dealt with a tough Serbian team, winning 110-84. Kevin Durant, who missed the team's practice games, was the top scorer with 23 points. LeBron James had 21 points and nine assists. Jrue Holiday had 15 points and two steals.

Sudan

The Sudanese got off to a strong start in the tournament with a match against Puerto Rico, proving their success in the friendly game against the USA was no fluke. Royal Ivey's team beat the Puerto Ricans by over ten points—90 to 79. It's also worth noting that the top players in South Sudan aren't all NBA-level. Carlik Jones from China scored 19 points, while Marial Shayok, who also plays in China, got 15.

South Sudan is a well-organized and trained team. It wouldn't be surprising if, as in the recent friendly, the U.S. team has some problems in the upcoming game. We don't think the Sudanese will win, but we'll bet on their individual total over.
