"We have a great chance to win. We have great coaching staff, we have great players, our confidence is at an all-time high, so we're not worried about those guys."

However, for USA head coach Steve Kerr, they still need to play better.

"We know that the competition is about to get tougher. We got to the second round, we got the best teams now and we have to play really well to win."

Greece and New Zealand will battle tonight for the final slot in their group.
