The U.S. played a tough contest with Brazil earlier in the week. They pulled out an 80-69 victory at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C.
LeBron James led Team USA down the stretch, finishing with 30 points. He helped the team come back after trailing by 10 points in the early going. The United States struggled from behind the arc, shooting just 1-12 from three-point range in the first half.
Great Britain doesn't figure to give the U.S. as big of a challenge. Brazil had four current NBA players on its roster. The Bulls Luol Deng is the only current NBA player Team USA will have to worry about on Thursday afternoon.
Prediction: Unlike Monday's contest, this game shouldn't be close. Team USA is favored by 32.5 points, according to sportsbook.ag, and for good reason. After an easy win in their first exhibition, the U.S. came out a little sluggish against Brazil. After a scare in the first half, expect Team USA to give it's best effort against Great Britain. With just one NBA player, they don't stand much of a chance.
Predicted Score: USA 111, Great Britain 67
