2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup: America vs. Brazil ends 89-73
The United States held Brazil 89-73 in the second round of Group K at the 2019 FIFA Basketball World Cup in Shenzhen, China, on Monday.
The result places the defending champions in two consecutive editions at the top of Group K with 10 points, the official FIBA website says.
Facing Brazil in Shenzhen, the Americans seem to have constant control, except when the match has been running for a minute and 10 seconds when Bruno Caboclo put Brazil 4-2 up.
But even that only lasted 16 seconds before Harrison Barnes launched Tripoin and since then the United States has continued to maintain its lead, except for several times Brazil equaled in the second quarter.
The United States has the advantage with the biggest difference of 21 points with six minutes and one second left in the third quarter at 83-62 after Kemba Walker shot three points.
Even if it cuts, the Americans still close the match with an 89-73 victory over Brazil while maintaining their clean-up record on hold.
The United States is one of the four remaining teams that still have a 100 percent record, along with Argentina, Spain and Australia.
In the victory over Brazil, Myles Turner and Walker contributed the most points, 16 points. Turner finished with eight rebounds and two steals, while Walker sent five assists.
Both received the help of Jaylen Brown, who scored 11 points and Barnes 10 points.
In contrast, Vitor Benite became a 21-point aggregator in Brazil, plus 14 points each from Anderson Varejao and Leandrinho Barbosa. Varejao also added eight rebounds, but could not stop America in the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup match.
