Team USA (2-0) will complete group play with a matchup against Puerto Rico (0-2) on Saturday morning.

After an up-and-down, five-game exhibition slate, the Americans have opened the Olympics looking more like their dominant selves. They followed a 26-point win over Serbia with a 17-point victory over South Sudan on Wednesday.

Bam Adebayo (18 points) and Kevin Durant (14 points) were two of six Americans to score in double figures in the latest rout.

Steve Kerr continues to tinker with his starting lineup, doing so on a matchup basis. Joel Embiid and Jrue Holiday are set to start against Puerto Rico alongside LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Devin Booker.

Puerto Rico is searching for its first win at the Paris Olympics following double-digit losses to South Sudan and Serbia. The roster is headlined by Jose Alvarado of the Pelicans.
