The USA Basketball Showcase continued Wednesday with its second and final game in Abu Dhabi.
Team USA Basketball took down Nikola Jokić and Serbia in its third pre-Olympics showcase game on Wednesday afternoon, 105-79. Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry dropped 24 points and was 6-for-9 from beyond the arc. Lakers big man Anthony Davis had six blocks to go with seven points and six rebounds.
The United States entered the game having won each of its first two games. It was coming off of a close, 98-92 win over Australia on Monday.
Wednesday’s game also served as a preview for the group stage at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games basketball tournament. The U.S. and Serbia are both in Group C and will open group play against each other again at the Olympics.
