Team USA faces Tunisia in the opening round of the 2012 London Olympic Games Tuesday 5:15 p.m. ET. The U.S. heads into the game with a record of 1-0 in pool play so far, having beaten France 98-71 on Sunday.
"We played a very good game against an outstanding team," head coach Mike Krzyzewski told USA Basketball.com after the game. "France is so well-coached and in (Tony) Parker, they have as good of a guard as there is in the tournament. I thought we did a good job defensively. We share the ball. We assisted on 27 of our 31 buckets and we rebounded the ball very well. Overall, it was a good first step or us, beating an outstanding French team."
Though having some NBA players on their roster, France posed no challenge to Team USA.
Kevin Durant led the U.S. with 22 points while LeBron James played the role of facilitator against France dishing out eight assists with only nine points.
Kevin Love played well scoring 14 points to go along with three boards. Love, who voiced his frustration about lack of playing time, may be seeing more minutes during the tournament because of the team's lack of size.
Unlike Team USA, Tunisia lost its first game against Nigeria and now is looking like they may not win a game in these Olympics.
Tunisia is playing in its first Olympics ever and fell behind 29-10 to Nigeria early in the game. They rallied back to down 49-47 with 5:14 left in the game but was not able to finish the comeback.
