Team USA's Anthony Edwards and Jordan's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson went back-and-forth racking up points as the Americans wrapped up pool play 3-0 with a 110-62 win over Jordan.
Edwards delighted in the meeting with Hollis-Jefferson, who was one of his mentors in training camp with thehis rookie year in 2020. Hollis-Jefferson, a six-year NBA veteran, came in as the event's second-leading scorer and one of the happy stories of the first week.
Edwards also fouled Hollis-Jefferson twice, which is something the 28-year-old has become an expert at while playing overseas the past two seasons. After drawing 15 fouls in a 39-point showing against New Zealand on Monday, Hollis-Jefferson drove, twisted and baited the U.S. into fouling him eight times.
Seconds later, after a Jordan turnover, Edwards had the ball on a break again. This time Abu Hawwas slowed down behind Edwards as he threw down a windmill dunk to the delight of the crowd.
