Brazil Team Overview

Their impressive run includes a statement victory over the United States (92-77), while more recently they have dispatched Venezuela (103-88) and Colombia (104-80). The home-court advantage is hugely significant for Brazil, and the team are expected to give maximum effort on both ends of the floor.
