Great Britain's men have been soundly beaten 118-78 by the USA in their Olympic warm-up match in Manchester.
Deron Williams and Carmelo Anthony each notched up 19 points for the reigning champions, while Kobe Bryant was also amongst the scorers for the visitors. Luol Deng top scored for the hosts with 25 points.
"They're the best team we've seen," Deng told BBC Sport. "Some of their guys are the best competition we've played against. For 40 minutes they're very hard to keep in check.
"We'll take one game at a time. It's going to take a lot of effort and a lot of work but we've got to watch this game and learn from it."
Team GB's men have been drawn in the same group as Australia, Brazil, China and Spain for this year's Games.
