After easily beating China and Venezuela by more than 40 points, Australia seemed to be more of a challenge with the United States men's basketball team barely winning 98-88 in a Rio Olympics matchup on Wednesday.
Carmelo Anthony had a phenomenal night leading the United States with 31 points and becoming the all-time leading scorer in U.S. men’s Olympic history with 293 total points.
