Team USA Dominates Greece, Advances to World Cup Second Round

The US men's basketball team secured a spot in the second round of the FIBA World Cup with a dominant 109-81 victory over Greece. Multiple players, including Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, and Austin Reaves, contributed to the win. The US had balanced scoring with all 12 players getting on the scoreboard. The team relied on strong defense, forcing turnovers and blocking shots. Greece, without Giannis Antetokounmpo, struggled to keep up. In other Group C action, New Zealand defeated Jordan in overtime. The US will face Jordan in their next game, while the top two teams from Group C will advance to the second phase of group play. France's elimination from the tournament was a major disappointment.
