USA Basketball finalmente hizo que pareciera f\u00e1cil de nuevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Durant y Bradley Beal anotaron 17 puntos cada uno y los estadounidenses tomaron el control desde el principio, venciendo a Argentina 108-80 en Las Vegas el martes para evitar lo que hubiera sido la primera racha de tres derrotas consecutivas en esta era en la que los jugadores de la NBA pudieron representar a USA Basketball en el escenario internacional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zach LaVine anot\u00f3 15 puntos para Estados Unidos, que perdi\u00f3 sus dos primeros juegos en Las Vegas ante Nigeria y Australia. Los estadounidenses dispararon al 51%, anotaron 33 puntos en el primer cuarto para comenzar a correr y derrotar a Argentina por d\u00e9cima vez consecutiva desde una derrota en los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de Atenas 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abFue mejor\u00bb, dijo el entrenador de Estados Unidos, Gregg Popovich. \u00abPoco a poco, todos los d\u00edas, espero\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damian Lillard anot\u00f3 13 puntos y Bam Adebayo termin\u00f3 con 12 puntos, cinco asistencias y cinco rebotes para Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRealmente encerrado\u201d, dijo Adebayo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luis Scola, listo para jugar en los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos por quinta vez, anot\u00f3 16 puntos en 19 minutos para Argentina. Nicolas Laprovittola anot\u00f3 13, Facundo Campazzo tuvo 12 y Gabriel Deck agreg\u00f3 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abNo es gran cosa\u00bb, dijo el argentino Luca Vildoza. \u00abEs solo una p\u00e9rdida\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estados Unidos jug\u00f3 con solo ocho miembros del equipo ol\u00edmpico. Jayson Tatum se vio afectado por dolor en la rodilla derecha y seguir\u00e1 avanzando d\u00eda a d\u00eda, dijo USA Basketball. Los estadounidenses tambi\u00e9n estar\u00e1n sin Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday y Devin Booker hasta al menos este fin de semana debido a las Finales de la NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las derrotas consecutivas para iniciar la estad\u00eda del equipo estadounidense en Las Vegas plantearon la posibilidad de que los estadounidenses pudieran perder tres seguidos con jugadores de la NBA por primera vez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USA Basketball finally made it look easy again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal each scored 17 points and the Americans took control from the outset, beating Argentina 108-80 in Las Vegas on Tuesday to avoid what would have been the first three-game losing streak in this era of NBA players being able to represent USA Basketball on the international stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zach LaVine scored 15 points for the U.S., which lost its first two games in Las Vegas to Nigeria and Australia. The Americans shot 51%, scored 33 first-quarter points to get off and running and beat Argentina for the 10th consecutive time since a loss at the 2004 Athens Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was better,\u201d U.S. coach Gregg Popovich said. \u201cBit by bit, every day, I hope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damian Lillard scored 13 points and Bam Adebayo finished with 12 points, five assists and five rebounds for the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust really locked in,\u201d Adebayo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luis Scola, set to play in the Olympics for a fifth time, scored 16 points in 19 minutes for Argentina. Nicolas Laprovittola scored 13, Facundo Campazzo had 12 and Gabriel Deck added 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a big deal,\u201d Argentina\u2019s Luca Vildoza said. \u201cIt\u2019s only a loss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. played with only eight members of the Olympic team. Jayson Tatum was held out with right knee soreness and will be day-to-day going forward, USA Basketball said. The Americans also will be without Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker until at least this weekend because of the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The back-to-back losses to start the U.S. team\u2019s stay in Las Vegas raised the possibility that the Americans might lose three in a row with NBA players for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
