Despite going on a 2-0 winning streak in pre-Olympic basketball games, the USA team was far from perfect, winning 98-92 against Australia.
The U.S. led by 15 going into the fourth quarter, but a late Australian comeback cut the lead to four. The U.S. team used a balanced attack to win by six points, with six players scoring 10 or more points.
Anthony Davis led the team with a double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds, and Devin Booker added 16 points off the bench. Anthony Edwards scored 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting, proving once again why he’s the team’s first choice.
“That’s the kind of player he is,” U.S. coach Steve Kerr said of Edwards. “He’s a big scorer. He goes downhill, he gets to the rim, he plays through contact. FIBA is a very physical team, and Edwards is a very physical player. I think he’s definitely going to be one of our leading scorers in this tournament.”
Kerr and his team will look to carry that momentum into their matchup against a Serbian team featuring three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.
