Boston’s Evan Fournier comments on how France was able to upset the US
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
It was the Evan Fournier show early Sunday morning in Tokyo as the Boston Celtics wing lit up Team USA to hand them their first Olympic loss since 2004.
Fournier dropped a game-high 28 points in France’s 83-76 upset victory over the Americans and after was asked about how his country was able to pull off the shocker. Even for Fournier and the French after a win, there is no denying that the individual quality of Team USA is far and away better than any squad in the tournament. The game, however, is won as a team:

It was a team effort from Fournier and the French as they open group play 1-0. Up next for France is a battle with the Czech Republic on Wednesday.
