Stephen Curry: 'Defense is the thing that helps you win championships, medals'
Marial Shayok led all scorers with 24 points for South Sudan and Jones had a triple-double — 15 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. The teams will meet in group play in the Paris Olympics on July 31. “It’s basketball. It happens,” U.S. guard Stephen Curry said. “You want to play perfect every game; it doesn’t happen. But can you dig deep and do the little things that help you win? Offense can come and go, but defense is the thing that helps you win championships, medals, all that stuff.”

More on this storyline
“We can be beat if we don’t play our brand of basketball, and our brand of basketball is playing defense,” said Curry, who shot 3 of 10. “But we also learned we have that gear if we can find it, no matter who’s out there on the court, we can overwhelm teams for 40 minutes and it’s a great reminder of both.” -via New York Times / July 20, 2024
