Team USA Basketball Takes Down Nikola Jokić and Serbia in Pre-Olympics Exhibition
Dominant Performance from Stephen Curry Leads Team USA to Victory
Serbia's Top NBA Players Absent from Match-up
In a thrilling pre-Olympics exhibition on Wednesday afternoon, Team USA Basketball emerged victorious over Nikola Jokić and Serbia, securing a 105-79 win. The game, played in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, saw Team USA dominate from start to finish, with Stephen Curry leading the charge with an impressive 24-point performance.
Serbia, despite having Jokić in their lineup, struggled to keep up with Team USA's high-powered offense. Jokić, the reigning NBA MVP, did not play in the fourth quarter, and Serbia's other major NBA player, Bogdan Bogdanović, did not play at all. In the end, Team USA's superior depth and execution proved too much for Serbia to handle.
The victory marks Team USA's third win in as many exhibition games in the lead-up to the 2024 Paris Olympics. The team will face off against Spain in their final exhibition game on Saturday before heading to Paris for the Olympic tournament.
