Behind 27 points and 10 rebounds from Parker, the USA capitalized on a 22-3 second quarter scoring spree to open play with a blazing 105-70 win over Brazil. Parker again led the way for with a game-high 21 points as the USA struck down Argentina 102-81 in what would become the closest margin of victory for the red, white and blue in the tournament. Conner Frankamp scored a team-high 22 points and Gordon barely missed out on a quadruple-double as the U.S. cruised past Costa Rica 118-46 to close preliminary play. Gordon had 18 points, 18 rebounds, a FIBA Americas U16 record eight blocks and, along with Frankamp, dished out a U16 tournament record nine assists.
