I was curious what the record was..

His 48 points ties Australian Ed Palubinskas (Montreal, 1976) for the second-most points ever scored in an Olympic basketball game, trailing only Brazilian Oscar Schmidt, who set the record against Spain in 1988 with 55 points.
The 22-year-old could well have broken the record after he checked out of the game with 4:35 remaining in the fourth, but he was more interested in getting the win than adding his name to the record books.
