Olympics basketball games today: Team USA vs Puerto Rico highlights Saturday in Paris

This weekend, the United States’ pursuit of its fifth-consecutive Olympic gold medal in men’s basketball will continue.
The Americans will take on Puerto Rico in a game that will serve as the headliner of four Olympics basketball contests that will be played Saturday in France during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Following matchups against Serbia and South Sudan, the game against Puerto Rico is the last of group play for Team USA. The Puerto Ricans, led by New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado, qualified for the Olympics by knocking of perennial medal contender Lithuania. It’s Puerto Rico’s first Olympic appearance since the 2004 Athens Games, when it stunned Team USA 92-73.
