After securing a 99-72 win over New Zealand to open the FIBA World Cup, Steve Kerr and Team USA will be back on the floor in Group C for game two against Greece on Monday morning.
Paolo Banchero scored 21 points off the bench to go along with four blocks to lead the way against New Zealand on Saturday. Along with Banchero, five other members of Team USA tallied double-figure scoring efforts.
