Things are not going well for Team USA basketball as they have been upset twice in three days.

Just a few days after losing to Nigeria 90-87 in one of the biggest upsets in men’s international basketball play, Team USA has now lost to Australia, 91-83 in Las Vegas.

Team USA has some of the best players in the world like Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Jayson Tatum, Zach LaVine and Bam Adebayo.

According to team management, this USA team has a lot of soul searching to do before the actual games start in Tokyo.

Team USA overwhelmed Serbia 96-66 to win a third straight Olympic gold medal in the 2016 Olympics.

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