US nears q’final berth, nips Greece in World Cup

Team USA inched closer to clinching a quarterfinal berth in the 2019 FIBA World Cup after it dumped the Giannis Antetokounmpo-led Greece on Saturday night at Shenzhen, China.

Kemba Walker finished with 15 points, Donovan Mitchell celebrated his 23rd birthday by scoring 10 as US stayed unbeaten after games.

Harrison Barnes and Derrick White added nine points each for the U.S. (4-0), which can clinch a quarterfinal berth if it wins its next assignment against Brazil or Greece wins over the Czech Republic.

Antetokounmpo, the reigning NBA MVP, led Greece with 15 points.

It was Greece’s second loss in four games.
