The Curry Show<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The second quarter saw Serbia\u2019s Marko Guduric and Vasilije Micic hit back-to-back three-pointers, giving their team a temporary lead. However, Curry quickly responded with five consecutive points, shifting the momentum in favor of Team USA. By halftime, the Americans had established a double-digit lead, thanks to Curry\u2019s sharpshooting and some solid team play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulling Away in the Third<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the third quarter, Team USA turned up the heat. Curry continued to rain threes from downtown, and the team\u2019s defense stifled Serbia\u2019s attempts to close the gap. With their lead extending beyond 20 points, the Americans were firmly in control of the game. Anthony Davis, contributing with 7 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 blocks, was a force to be reckoned with in the paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sealing the Deal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The final quarter was a formality as Team USA maintained their dominance. Every player got a chance to shine, and Serbia was unable to mount any significant comeback. Bam Adebayo chipped in with 17 points, making sure the lead stayed insurmountable. In the end, Team USA cruised to a 105-79 victory, much to the delight of fans and coaches alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jokic\u2019s Efforts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nikola Jokic, the reigning NBA MVP, put in a valiant effort for Serbia, scoring 16 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Despite his best attempts, the Serbian team couldn\u2019t keep up with the high-flying American squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This warm-up game was a significant test for both teams, especially since they will face each other again in the group stage of the Olympics, along with South Sudan and Puerto Rico. Team USA\u2019s performance today sends a strong message to their upcoming opponents: they are in it to win it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
