Despite the highly-anticipated debut for Team USA’s 2024 Olympic squad, it was a rough start for the Americans. Team USA started ice cold, going scoreless from the field in the opening four minutes. Team USA missed its first six shots from the field in the first quarter.
Already trailing by double-figures, Stephen Curry used a pump fake to get open for a 3-pointer for Team USA’s first field goal of the game. The Golden State Warriors point guard cut Canada’s lead down to six with a much-needed triple from the top of the key.
