Team USA advanced to the semi-finals of the Olympic men’s basketball with a dominant 122-87 win over Brazil.
The three favourites in the quarter-finals had to overcome difficult encounters, with Canada even crashing out, but there were no such issues for the star-studded Americans.
They face Serbia in the semi-finals on Thursday in what is sure to be a more difficult tie for Steve Kerr’s side.
Germany will take on France in the other semi-final.

Brazil’s deficit was reduced due to a standout effort from Bruno Caboclo, who scored 30 points on 13-20 shooting from the field.
