Team USA men’s basketball suffered its first Olympic loss since 2004 on Sunday, falling, 83-76 to France. As if that wasn’t a bad enough start to the Olympic campaign, the team got outclassed by a robot at halftime.
When both teams were in the locker rooms at half, a robot wearing a basketball uniform took the floor at Saitama Super Arena.
And while it was a bit odd to have halftime entertainment for an event without fans, it was worth it to see this robot put on a basketball-shooting display. The robot hit a three before going to midcourt and draining a shot from there.
