How to watch USA men’s basketball vs. Puerto Rico: Olympic basketball live stream, TV channel

After an up-and-down exhibition lead up to the 2024 Paris Olympics, Team USA dominated its first two men’s basketball games against Serbia and South Sudan.

The U.S. clinched a trip to the quarterfinals by beating South Sudan 103-86 on Wednesday night. You could tell early on in the game that the USA was in control. Bam Adebayo scored 18 points and Kevin Durant had 14 for the Americans, who took control with a 25-4 run in the first half.

On Saturday, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and the rest of the best that the U.S. has to offer take on Puerto Rico.

This marks the third game of the Olympics for both teams in Group C. 

The win against South Sudan locked up a knockout-round berth and the No. 1 seed out of Group C for the U.S., which joined Canada, France and Germany in the quarterfinals.

Right now there are seven teams still alive for the other four quarterfinal spots. Only Puerto Rico, which faces the Americans on Saturday, has been eliminated from contention to advance.

Saturday’s game — the first between Puerto Rico and the U.S. at the Olympics since an embarrassing 92-73 loss in the Athens Olympics 20 years ago — isn’t a meaningless game for the United States. A 3-0 record in group play would give the Americans their best chance at a top-two seed for the knockout round and, in theory, an easier matchup in the quarterfinals.
