After trailing the Czech Republic by double digits in the first half of their last game of group play, the United States Men’s Basketball Team found themselves in the same situation versus Spain in the quarterfinals of the tournament at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
And in both instances, Team USA pulled away for a convincing victory.
After having no answer for Ricky Rubio on defense and clanking wide open three after wide open three on offense in the first half, the United States settled in on both ends of the court in the second half to come away with a 95-81 victory at Saitama Super Arena in Japan’s capital.
