The good news for Team USA Sunday was that Klay Thompson got it going — and that was enough to lift them to a victory over a shorthanded French team.
Thompson had shot 18 percent from three through the first four games of the Rio Olympics, but was 7-of-13 from deep on Sunday, racking up 30 points in the process. The USA needed those buckets because they still aren’t playing great defense and France came within three 100-97.
Check out the highlights of the win below. Team USA is off until Wednesday, when they start the eight-team tournament that will determine who gets the Gold in Rio.
Sunday is a day of Klay.@KlayThompson drops 30 and #USA finishes group play undefeated. https://t.co/5HOyPj61KV https://t.co/I5rcXHazgX
