The game saw the USA team set a new Olympic record for most points scored in a game, as well as setting a new American record by making 29 three-point shots.
Basketball made its appearance at the Olympic Games in 1904 in St Louis as a demonstration sport, as the competition was held between only American teams and counted as an event of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU of the USA) Championships.
