Brazil men's basketball

The U.S. men's basketball team will face Brazil in the quarterfinals of the Olympic tournament after securing the top spot in Group C with a dominant 104-83 victory over Puerto Rico. Brazil also advanced, finishing third in Group B, thanks to Bruno Caboclo's impressive performance of 33 points and 17 rebounds in their 102-84 win against Japan, who were eliminated after losing all three group-stage games. Other quarterfinal matchups include France against Canada, Serbia taking on Australia, and Germany meeting Greece. The U.S. coach Steve Kerr emphasized that while Brazil is a strong team, their focus remains on the upcoming game. Japan's struggles were compounded by the absence of star player Rui Hachimura due to injury. If the U.S. wins, they will face the winner of the Serbia-Australia matchup in the semifinals.
