In a riveting display of dominance, the U.S. men’s basketball team trounced Brazil in a 122-87 quarterfinals victory, thanks to Coach Steve Kerr’srelentless emphasis on defense and rebounding. Kerr’s strategic blueprint was executed to perfection as the team stormed into the semifinals, set to clash with Serbia.
As the group stage wrapped up, Kerr’s message was clear: control the boards and lock down the defense. The team’s response was nothing short of spectacular, translating their coach’s words into action on the court.
The game was a masterclass in rebounding and defensive prowess. The U.S. outmuscled Brazil on the boards and stifled their shooting, holding them to a mere 42% from the field. This defensive tenacity paved the way for an offensive onslaught that left Brazil reeling.
Leading the charge was Devin Booker, who lit up the scoreboard with 18 points. Joel Embiid showcased his all-around game, contributing 14 points and seven rebounds. Kevin Durant and LeBron James added their firepower, scoring 11 and 12 points respectively, with James also dishing out nine assists and grabbing three steals.
