Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum all had their first bit of game action for Team USA in the Blue vs. White scrimmage on Friday. Tatum had the most impressive night of all in Team Blue's 97-78 win, scoring 17 points on 6 of 8 shooting. Additionally, Tatum had a big block and four rebounds in his 16 minutes, and he was able to recover well on the defensive end in the instances his opponent initially had him beat. Walker also scored 14 points in the win.
