US Bounces Back From Olympic-opening Loss, Routs Iran 120-66

SAITAMA, Japan (AP) — The U.S. basketball team got back to winning — and winning easily. Damian Lillard scored 21 points and the Americans rebounded from an opening loss with their first victory of these Olympics, romping past Iran 120-66 on Wednesday. Devin Booker scored 16 points and Jayson Tatum had 14 for the Americans, who had their 25-game Olympic winning streak snapped with an 83-76 loss to France on Sunday. The U.S. not only bounced back with a win but did it in a Dream Team-type performance against an overmatched opponent. The U.S. made 19 3-pointers and 23 of its 37 shots (62%) inside the arc.
