Team USA showcased their dominance in the first half of the game against South Sudan, leading by 19 points at halftime. The star-studded American side displayed a combination of stifling defense and unstoppable scoring to keep the world's youngest country at bay.
Surprisingly, it was Bam Adebayo, known for his defensive prowess in the NBA, who led the scoring for Team USA with 14 points. He was closely followed by LeBron James with 10 points and Kevin Durant with 9 points. Despite the offensive firepower on the US roster, Steph Curry struggled in the first half, remaining scoreless and shooting 0-for-4 from the field.
On the other side, Nuni Omot stood out for South Sudan, scoring 14 points to lead the Bright Stars. However, turnovers plagued the South Sudanese team, as they gave the ball away nine times compared to Team USA's five turnovers.
South Sudan had previously made a late comeback against the USA in London, raising the question of whether they can produce a similar feat in Paris. As the second half of the game approaches, all eyes will be on both teams to see how the rest of the match unfolds.
