After only leading by seven going into halftime, Team USA came out swinging in the second half, outscoring Puerto Rico 34-18 in the third quarter. Team USA locked down defensively again in the final frame, allowing only 13 points in the fourth quarter on their way to a dominant 117-74 win in Sin City.

Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards and Broolyn’s Cam Johnson each tallied 15 points to lead Team USA. Five other members of Team USA registered double-figure scoring efforts. New York’s Jalen Brunson secured a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds in 22 minutes.

Next up for Kerr and Team USA will be Luka Doncic and Slovenia in another pre-FIBA World Cup showcase game on Aug. 12 in Spain.
