In a thrilling pre-Olympics showcase match in Abu Dhabi, the USA managed to hold off a determined Australia team to secure a 98-92 victory. Despite a strong effort from Australia's Jock Landale, who finished with 20 points and seven offensive rebounds, Team USA's bigs, including Anthony Davis, were crucial in sealing the win. The game saw the US struggle with turnovers, but ultimately their depth proved to be a significant advantage. Coach Steve Kerr praised Australia for their physicality and competitiveness, noting the valuable lessons learned from the matchup. The USA's second unit, led by Tyrese Haliburton and Devin Booker, made a significant impact on the game, highlighting the team's depth as a key strength. With upcoming exhibition matches against Serbia and two games in London, both teams are preparing for their Olympic campaigns later this month.
