USA vs Argentina Full Game Highlights July 13, 2021 for TOKYO OLYMPICS

The U.S. men's basketball team lived up to its potential on Tuesday night, cruising to a 108-80 victory over Argentina for its first exhibition win.

After dropping consecutive games against Nigeria and Australia, Team USA showcased the talent and skill level that has made it the favorite to capture the gold medal at the 2021 Olympics. All five starters (Damian Lillard, Zach LaVine, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Bam Adebayo) scored at least 12 points, and Team USA held Argentina to 38.4 percent shooting from the field.

"More intensity. We really honed in on the defensive side and just really locked in," Adebayo said during his postgame interview with NBCSN.

Team USA has two exhibition games remaining before it travels to Tokyo. The Americans will face Australia on Friday and Spain on Monday.
