Team USA ran away from Serbia for a 105-79 exhibition game victory on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi to improve to 3-0 on the team’s pre-Olympics tour
.
Curry corralled a loose ball and with a lightning release from the left wing, splashed his fifth three-pointer of the game to inflate the US advantage to 90-63 before LeBron James emphatically stamped a right-handed slam off a lob from Adebayo. The next possession was a highlight reel of dribbling and passing that ended with another Curry three, followed by James getting downhill and powering for a lefty finish and 31-point lead.
Shooting and depth stood out as the US gathered around Jokić on the defensive end and spread the ball around with extra passes. Adebayo drained a three from the top of the key to push the lead to 81-53 late in the third quarter. Curry had 18 points in the first 20 minutes. He rattled off a solo run of nine consecutive points at the midpoint of the second quarter and Anthony Edwards nailed a three to give the US a 47-40 edge with 4:12 left in the half.
