Last game: Team USA 

Team USA had one of the easiest games of the quarterfinals after breezing past the competition and playing the worst of the two third place teams that made the knockout stages. Brazil snuck into the quarters with a win over Japan but they were no match for Team USA got off to a quick start thanks to some hot shooting from Devin Booker and Joel Embiid. Booker hit a couple early threes to begin his 18 points night and Embiid drilled three triples while egging on the French crowd that has turned against him, and he has returned the favor. The game was over by early in the second quarter although Bruno Caboclo did his best to keep his side in the game, scoring 30 points but it was far from enough to keep Brazil in the contest as Team USA eased to their fourth straight blowout win.
