After suffering a shocking loss in Sunday’s opener, Team USA looks to bounce back with a convincing win over Iran.

Team USA is off to a rocky start at the Summer Olympics. They looked vulnerable in their exhibition games, suffering losses to Nigeria and Australia. But they would figure it out by the time the Olympics arrived, right? Wrong.

Team USA suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of the French in their Olympic opener. This is the second time the Americans have dropped a game to the French at a major tournament in the last three years.

In a game where Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton were playing, Evan Fournier was the best player on the floor by far.

The good news is that Team USA has the chance to take out some of their frustration on Wednesday when they play Iran. They are heavily favored in this matchup and are still a safe pick to advance past the group stage in Tokyo.
