Team USA's basketball squad has proven to be a formidable force in the ongoing tournament, making it a challenging task for opponents to devise effective game plans against them. The team boasts star players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Joel Embiid, who have been instrumental in leading the team to success.

During the tournament, James and Durant have emerged as the primary scorers for Team USA. However, in a surprising turn of events, it was Durant's teammate from the Phoenix Suns, Devin Booker, and Philadelphia 76ers' standout player Joel Embiid who took the lead in scoring with five points each in the first quarter of the game against Brazil.

Despite the tough competition posed by Team USA, the Brazilian team has not been overwhelmed in the initial stages of the match. With four minutes remaining in the first quarter, Team USA holds a modest lead of 18-11 over their opponents, indicating a closely contested game in progress.
