At 23:15 tonight, in the Olympic men’s basketball group stage, the US men’s basketball team faces Puerto Rico.
Before the game, US men’s basketball head coach Steve Kerr spoke with the media.
Regarding their final group stage opponent, Puerto Rico, Kerr said:
“We talked to the players about this this morning. We showed them the standings, we showed them the point differential. We want to be the No. 1 seed, as that gives you the best matchup in the quarterfinals. So, if our ranking drops to second or third, I think being the top seed becomes more difficult. Therefore, we have to take care of our own business, and we may face a stronger opponent.”
