Team USA showcased their dominance once again as they defeated Brazil with a commanding score of 122-87, advancing to a semifinal showdown against Serbia. This victory was a testament to the team's strength and versatility, with standout performances from players like Devin Booker, Anthony Edwards, and Joel Embiid.

Booker led the charge with 18 points, supported by Edwards' 17 points and Embiid's impactful presence on the court. The team's depth and talent were on full display, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with.

Despite facing challenges such as injuries, Team USA remained resilient. LeBron James, a key player, had to briefly leave the game after sustaining an elbow to the face from a Brazilian player. However, he returned to the court after receiving treatment and showed his determination to contribute to the team's success.

The victory over Brazil sets up a highly anticipated rematch with Serbia, a team they previously defeated 110-84 in the opening game of the Olympics. With their eyes set on a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal, Team USA is poised to continue their winning streak and solidify their status as basketball powerhouses.
