Saturday
USA vs Mexico, 10:00 a.m. (ET)
The Skinny: USA is playing in this match, there’s really nothing else to say. Unless Mexico goes all Monstars and steals some talent, they really don’t stand a chance — and that’s not a shot at Mexico. That’s a testament to how talented the US national team is.
Players to Watch
USA: James Harden, Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, Kenneth Faried
Mexico: Francisco Cruz, Gustavo Ayon
