Blowout doesn’t even come close to describe how bad the United States beat Nigeria today.
I’ll just post the stats and records.
Score: 156-73
3 pointers: 29-46
FG %: 71.1%
Margin of Victory: 83
Those are all Olympic records.
Carmelo Anthony also set the all time USA scoring mark with 37 points as he was an insane 10-12 from behind the arc and 13 for 16 total from the field.
Oh yeah, Anthony Davis got some time in the 2nd half and scored 9 points on 4-4 shooting, 1-2 from the free throw line, and grabbed 6 rebounds.
The funny thing is Davis would have played in the 1st half, but he forgot to wear his Team USA jersey, so he started the 2nd half.
USA runs their record to 3-0 and Nigeria drops to 1-2.
Team USA next plays Saturday vs. Lithuania Saturday morning.
