In the first tournament under head coach Steve Kerr and managing director Grant Hill, the United States fell 113-111 to Germany in the semifinal round of the FIBA World Cup on Friday.
Germany, which remains undefeated in the tournament, opened a double-digit lead in the third quarter by outscoring the Americans by 11 points. The U.S. got back into the game with a 9-0 run late in the fourth quarter, led by Edwards, but had no answer for Schroder, who repeatedly targeted and toasted Reaves down the stretch.
Despite two losses, team USA has already qualified for the 2024 Olympics, but if it plans on avoiding a similar fate, Hill and Kerr will need to either add more defensive-oriented players or figure out a way for the group to build cohesion on that end of the floor.Despite its atrocious defense, Team USA was almost able to pull off a late-comeback.
