RECIFE, Brazil (AP) — The plan Alex Jensen laid out for the USA Basketball team sent to the AmeriCup tournament was simple. Be better every day, and let the results take care of themselves.
Norris Cole scored 17 points, Craig Sword added 11 and the United States earned its first AmeriCup win of the year by beating Panama 88-58 on Monday. The Americans (1-1) led with 38 points, never trailed and beat Panama 48-9 from 3-point range.
“We have to peak at the right time,” said Jensen, the USA coach. “I think we took a step in that direction tonight.”
The United States opened the AmeriCup with a six-point loss against Mexico and have been on a roll ever since. The Americans led Venezuela 48-21 at halftime on Sunday before the rain caused some leaks and forced the game to be stopped; that contest will resume on Tuesday.
Combine that score with Monday’s effort, and the U.S. outscored foes 136-79 in its final six quarters.
“I thought we got better,” Jensen said.
Jeremy Pargo scored 10 points and Gary Clark had 11 rebounds for the United States, which will have Wednesday off before a quarterfinal matchup against an opponent to be determined.
“We’re just focused on us and who we want to play,” Cole said. “We are not looking ahead. We are taking it game by game. I take the scouting report game by game.”
Isaac Hall Machore led Panama with 12 points. In the score of 0-3, Panama was eliminated.
Venezuela (2-0) earned an 80-74 victory over Mexico (2-1) on Monday, opening the door for the United States to win a three-team tiebreaker and end this stage on Group C.
Also on Monday, in Group A, the host Brazil (3-0) finished the group games perfect with a 76-66 victory over Uruguay (0-3). And Canada (2-1) outscored Colombia 62-61, and took the lead on a free throw by Trae Bell-Haynes with 1.8 seconds remaining to complete a comeback from 16 points down.
