Brazil earned their first win of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, beating Belarus 68-53 in Group A but it will be Belarus that moves on with a 2-3 record while Brazil finished 1-4.



China knocked off the Czech Republic 79-63 on Sunday to improve to 4-1 while the Czech Republic fell to 2-3 but will still advance from Group B.



The United States pounded New Zealand 96-60 to remain undefeated and will advance to the medal round competition as a heavy favorite.
