France secured a comfortable win over Iran in Olympic men's basketball on Saturday to qualify for the quarter-finals and remain undefeated in the preliminary round.
Real Madrid's Thomas Heurtel led with 16 points in France's 79-62 victory at the Saitama Super Arena, north of Tokyo. They swept their opponents in Group A, including a shock defeat of Team USA on Sunday, the first Olympic loss for the Americans since 2004."The focus really was more about us and trying things out," Evan Fournier, who plays for the NBA's Boston Celtics, said about France's decisive win.
The United States bounced back with a win over Iran earlier this week and will face the Czech Republic later on Saturday.
