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.
