BEIJING - Holders the United States made a sound start to their basketball World Cup title defence with an 88-67 win over the Czech Republic while Australia celebrated an impressive 108-92 victory against Canada on Sunday.
Having seen 17 of their first-choice players pull out of the 32-nation event in China, a depleted U.S. roster produced a mature performance as Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell led the way with 16 points. The Americans stayed in cruise control after the break, drawing loud cheers from fans in Shanghai with some spectacular moves and prolific three-point shooting.
“They scored 23 points in the first five minutes of the third quarter and that is obviously something we have to look at and try to fix going forward,” Australia coach Andrej Lemanis told reporters. Giannis Antetokounmpo, last season’s most valuable player in the NBA regular season, had a quiet game with 10 points but Greece were never forced to hit top gear against Montenegro.
