US Olympic men’s basketball team tops Nigeria in last tuneup (Yahoo Sports)
Carmelo Anthony scored 19 points and the U.S. Olympic basketball team wrapped up its unbeaten exhibition tour with a 110-66 victory over Nigeria on Monday night. Klay Thompson had 17 points and Kevin Durant added 14 for the U.S., which went 5-0 and wasn’t tested during its easy pre-Olympic schedule. The U.S. men and women – who arrived in Houston earlier Monday and attended the game – are scheduled to fly Tuesday night to Rio de Janeiro, where both will be favored to repeat as Olympic basketball champions.
