Not sure, but I saw this:

Peacock is the exclusive streamer of NBC, so you can watch men’s 3×3 basketball and all other 2024 Paris Olympics games on the service.

Since the entire Summer Olympics in Paris (including men’s 3×3 basketball) airs across NBC, E! and USA Network, it’s also streamable on internet-based streaming cable services. Sports fans and cord-cutters can watch for free on select streamers that offer complimentary trials, including DirecTV StreamFubo and Hulu + Live TV. You can also livestream the event on Peacock.

Replays of virtually every competition for the entire Paris games are available online if you look hard enough.

Meanwhile, the United States lost and now are 0-2. Saw just a few minutes off and on - including the last minute. Fredette thought he got fouled and stayed on the floor whining to the referee until time ran out. And then showed poor sportsmanship by not shaking hands with his opponent. Bad look.

Jimmer has been a brick machine so far 😮

Wonder if three college players from the same team could train for the 3 on 3 competition? The rules for inclusion require the players to be ranked internationally, so they have to compete in tournaments before the Olympics. 

What about Obanor, Abmas and Lacis?

From the little 3x3 action that I have seen, the game favors players with height (for defense, rebounding, and driving to the rim) and the ability to shoot the three (or, in this case, two).  Lacis and Obanor both fit this mold very well.  Max, unfortunately, would be a significant defensive liability amid all of the screens and shifts.

Latvia has to be very pleased with their performance to date, as they entered the eight team tournament as the #7 seed. Great start!

Latvia came back from a 18-15 deficit to defeat the USA team 21-19 this afternoon on TV.  Francis played the last 5:00 of the game when the game was on the line, but I didn't see him score during that time.  🇱🇻

I think he only scored 1 point and only took 2-3 shots.  He sets screens, plays defense, and looks for opportunities to cut to the basket  for the 3 on 3 version of a back door pass.  The other guys are scorers and he sets them up very well.  There was a lot of substitution by Latvia to keep their players fresh.
