In the warm-up game, the United States easily defeated Greece 108-86
Aug. 19 Even without two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Greece is expected to be the toughest opponent for the United States in the World Cup group stage, with both teams in Group C of the World Cup.
In a warm-up game in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on Friday, the U.S. comfortably beat Greece and won 108-86 to take an early lead, which bodes well for the outlook for the U.S. team. The U.S. team currently has a 4-0 record in the World Cup warm-ups, and the U.S. men's basketball team has a more interesting game against a good German team.
Anthony Edwards scored a team-high 21 points, shooting 8-of-16 from the field and having four rebounds.
