Rondae Hollis Jefferson scored 20 points while Freddy Ibrahim chipped in 10 points to lead Jordan that trailed behind by 50 points at most.

Team USA now prepares to go up against Montenegro and Lithuania in the second round of the World Cup.

Meanwhile, Jordan, after losing all three games in the first round, dropped out of contention for the title but will still face Egypt and Mexico to decide their ranking in the tournament.
