Team USA has passed its first two tests with flying colors.

Following a blowout win over Puerto Rico, the United States easily defeated Slovenia in Saturday's FIBA Basketball World Cup tune-up game. Slovenia sputtered without Luka Doncic, who was ruled out for precautionary reasons after taking a blow to his left knee in a loss against Spain.

Team USA, meanwhile, had no trouble generating offense. Anthony Edwards led the way with 15 points, and eight other American players finished with at least seven points.
