The U.S. has had the occasional close game in the
Olympics, and lost to France 83-76 at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It was
the Americans' only Olympic loss since losing in the semifinals of 2004
Athens Olympics.........
i thought the So-called "Dream Team" (US Men's Basketball)
lost to Croatia or Serbia ...... several years ago?
Every Team USA loss ever: From early embarrassment to current defeats
Mindaugas Bertys Daily Writer 2023 September
On two separate occasions, a decade passed when Team USA did not lose a
single game. Then, both times, the losses started to occur one after
another, a stage the squad is currently in.
On September 3rd, Lithuania played one of the best quarters
in the country's basketball history and stunned Team USA, giving them
their first loss in the 2023 FIBA World Cup. It was the 11th loss a fully-stacked NBA players-only roster suffered in major international tournaments.
Just five days later, Team USA was defeated once again. This
time, Germany outran and outgunned the Americans en route to a final,
while the favorites had to play for a bronze medal.
Two more days later, Team USA fell to Canada and was left without a medal.
It was the sixth loss in the last five years ..........
