Team USA showed their dominance on the basketball court as they defeated Serbia with a score of 105-79 in an exhibition game in Abu Dhabi. This victory improved their pre-Olympics tour record to 3-0, showing their strength and preparation for the upcoming games.
One of the key players in this game was Bam Adebayo, who scored 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds, showcasing his versatility and impact on both ends of the court. He, along with Anthony Davis, made it difficult for Serbian star Nikola Jokic to find his rhythm, with Davis recording six blocks throughout the game.
Steph Curry also had a standout performance, scoring 18 points in the first half and finishing with a total of 24 points, including six 3-pointers. His quick release and accurate shooting from beyond the arc helped Team USA maintain a comfortable lead throughout the game.
The team’s strong defense was evident as they limited Jokic to just 8 points on 3-of-10 shooting, frustrating the Serbian team’s offensive efforts. Team USA’s ability to spread the ball around and make extra passes led to open shots and a high shooting percentage from 3-point range, making 16 out of 36 attempts.
The game ended with a highlight reel of plays, including a powerful dunk by LeBron James off a lob from Adebayo and a series of impressive shots by Curry and James. The team’s depth and shooting prowess were on full display, showcasing their potential for success in the upcoming Olympics.
Looking ahead, Team USA will continue their preparations with two more games before the start of the Olympics, where they will face South Sudan in their next matchup. The team’s strong performance against Serbia is a promising sign for their chances of success in the upcoming tournament, as they aim to bring home the gold medal once again.
