LeBron James Leads Team USA to Narrow Victory Over South Sudan
Dramatic Finish In Paris Olympics Warm-up
Team USA Survives Scare In Exhibition Game
Team USA's quest for a fifth consecutive gold medal in men's basketball at the 2024 Olympics in Paris is off to a rocky start. The team, featuring superstar LeBron James, narrowly escaped defeat on Saturday in an exhibition game against South Sudan, winning 101-100.
Despite facing a team ranked 70th in the world, Team USA struggled throughout the game. South Sudan built a seven-point lead in the third quarter and held on until the final seconds. James, who scored 25 points to lead all scorers, hit the game-winning layup with just one second remaining.
The close call serves as a wake-up call for Team USA, which is aiming to extend its streak of Olympic gold medals to five. The team will have to improve its execution and consistency if it wants to be successful in Paris.
