It was not a great game for the three former Wildcats on the squad. Devin Booker led the Kentucky stars with six points. However, he only attempted four shots, making two of them.
Anthony Davis took just one shot, and scored four points. He added 2 rebounds, a steal, and an assist.
Bam Adebayo didn’t score in this one, and just tallied a steal and an assist in 10 minutes of play.
It should be noted that with Curry’s big day, the former Cats didn’t need to contribute as much as in previous games.
Team USA moves on the the finals, and will play for the gold medal. They’ll meet France who beat Germany to advance. It should be an exciting game, and fans will be pulling for them to win the top prize.
