The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris continue to go well for the United States men's basketball team.
Team USA picked up a 104-83 win over Serbia to improve to 3-0 in group play.
How did the three Boston Celtics representatives on Team USA perform in the squad's third game of the 2024 Olympics?
Jayson Tatum
After joining Tyrese Haliburton as the only member of Team USA to not see the floor in the opening game against Serbia, Tatum got the start for the second game in a row against Puerto Rico and saw 22:44 of action. This was tied with Joel Embiid for the most playing time anyone on the team had.
Tatum scored 10 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, made three assists and forced two steals. He shot 4-of-9 from the floor and 0-of-2 from 3-point range.
Time will tell if head coach Steve Kerr decides to keep Tatum as a starter or bring him in off the bench moving forward.
Jrue Holiday
After starting against Serbia, Holiday continues to see his minutes decrease after he came off the bench against South Sudan and did not see the court today.
Holiday was the only member of Team USA not to check into the game.
Derrick White
White came off the bench once again and played 22:03, making him the team's third-most-used player after Tatum and Embiid.
White scored just two points, grabbed a rebound, made two assists, forced a steal and blocked a shot.
White shot 1-of-4 from the field and 0-of-3 from 3-point range.
What's Next?
Team USA returns to action on Tuesday, August 6 in the quarterfinals as part of the knock-out round. The game will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock. Time and opponent are TBD.
