USA Basketball finally made it look easy again.

Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal each scored 17 points and the Americans took control from the outset, beating Argentina 108-80 to avoid what would have been the first three-game losing streak in this era of NBA players being able to represent USA Basketball on the international stage.

Zach LaVine scored 15 for the U.S which lost its first two games in Las Vegas to Nigeria and Australia.

USA will face France at 12am on the 26th of this month in its first group match of the Basketball competition in the Tokyo Olympics.
