Unbeaten Americans Trim 16-Point Deficit

WEB Team USA displayed impressive resilience on Saturday, overcoming a 16-point deficit to secure a hard-fought 101-100 victory over South Sudan in an exhibition matchup. The win extends Team USA's unbeaten record in exhibition play this summer as they continue to prepare for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Trailing by 53-37 in the second quarter, Team USA turned the tide in the third quarter, outscoring South Sudan 36-17. United States forward LeBron James led the way with 23 points, capped off by the game-winning field goal with 30 seconds remaining.
