What’s at stake
Les Bleus won their first game, 78-66 against Brazil last Sunday. With a win over Japan against Japan on Tuesday, they should effectively get a spot in the quarterfinals and let the chips fall where they may.
As for Japan, they lost 97-77 last Sunday. Former Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura scored 20 points in that game, but he wasn’t efficient in that contest. If France can keep him in check, Les Bleus should win this one comfortably. If not, we’ll see if Team Nihon makes things a bit interesting.
