Former Bull Carlik Jones had triple double in South Sudan’s impressive, one-point loss to USA Basketball in London exhibition. Luol Deng is president of South Sudan Basketball Federation and assistant coach to Rockets assistant Royal Ivey. Jones missed good look at end. – 5:12 PM

More on this storyline
South Sudan, the African nation that gained its independence just 13 years ago and is about to play in the Olympics for the first time, led for more than half the game and had a chance to win at the end. But Carlik Jones’ runner off the glass missed with about 4 seconds left, and the Americans survived. “I’m going to be honest: I like those better than the blowouts,” James said as he walked off the court. “At least we get tested.” Oh, they got tested — by a team that came into the game as 43½-point underdogs , according to BetMGM Sportsbook. “A good reminder that when we play against teams, it’s the biggest game of their lives,” U.S. coach Steve Kerr said. “We have to expect everyone to play like that.” -via Los Angeles Times / July 21, 2024
