Led by Jake Layman’s game high 18 points, the USA routed Mexico 110-59 the following day as all 12 USA players scored in the game. Getting points again from every team member, including a game high 22 points from Stokes and 15 more from Randle, the USA downed host Brazil 83-64 to close out preliminary round play 3-0. Utilizing its superior depth and balanced scoring, the USA handled Argentina 107-72 in its semifinal game. The win, which featured all 12 U.S. players scoring including seven in double figures, advanced the Americans to the gold medal game. The U.S. offense, which registered a tournament high 107 points on 54.8% shooting overall, was paced by 15 points from Randle.

Leading by just six (37-31) at halftime of the gold medal game versus Brazil, the USA stepped up its defense in the second half to break open the game and record an 81-56 victory.
