The USA national team beat Venezuela 80-45 Friday night at United Center in preparation game for the upcoming Rio Olympics which was not as spectacular as Chicago fans whould expect.
Heading into that final quarter, the teams had combined to shoot 29-of-104 (27.9 percent), however it was obvious that the visitors, specially without Graves Vasquez who will miss the Rio Olympics due to injury, are not in the same league with the NBA stars.
A sellout crowd eager to see both the Chicago Bulls‘ Olympic representative, Jimmy Butler, and newest acquisition, Dwyane Wade – watching from the front row after his Bulls introductory news conference earlier in the day – got to seeKyrie Irving and Klay Thompson scoring 13 points each for Team USA.
