General rundown of 3×3 on July 30
The 3×3 tournament started yesterday. On the women’s side, Team USA lost to Germany, 17-13, but so did France, Azerbaijan and Australia. Just so you know, the stars of the FIBA 3X3 game don’t align with those from the 5X5 game.
Also, the women’s team only had two weeks to play together.
On the men’s side, Team USA also lost, very handily to Serbia 22-14. France, the Netherlands and Latvia were the other countries to win. Latvia is known for some recent NBA players who were on the Washington Wizards like Kristaps Porzingis and Davis Bertans, but neither are on the 3X3 team. France is well-known in basketball but they’re hosting and are guaranteed a team. And for the Dutch, this is their first time in the Olympics for any form of basketball, but they are one of the stronger teams in the 3X3 game.
There is a mix of women’s and men’s basketball games today. Games can be streamed on Peacock. Any game involving the United States is likely on some NBCUniversal network, but check NBCSports.com for details. Here is the schedule:
