Curry was with Team USA against Canada, getting fouled and hitting the bucket en route to a win for the Olympic squad in a tune-up… and he hit the floor, leaned on his elbow and posed like he was a model
As for the rest, the US team with an all-star squad like Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Devin Booker or Jayson Tatum is quite struggling. It wasn’t until midway through the first half that the home team of the friendly match had their first successful shot.
After being behind for most of the first half, the US team came back strongly in the second half with a 14-2 run. Anthony Edwards led this effort with many impressive scores, worthy of the title “number 1 choice” in the squad that this young talent boldly declared.
Although they did not bring an overwhelming performance as fans imagined, LeBron James, Stephen Curry and his teammates still won with a difference of 14 points. They kept the initiative in the remaining three rounds with contributions from many different players.
Anthony Edwards led the team with 13 points. Anthony Davis had a double-double of 10 points with 11 rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 assists and 2 steals. Stephen Curry and Jrue Holiday both scored over 10 points in the win.
After the match against Canada, the US team will have four more friendly matches before the Olympics ƙick off at the end of the month. LeBron James and his teammates will play two matches in Abu Dhabi against Australia and Serbia, then go to London to face South Sudan and Germany.
The US basketball team’s Paris Olympic campaign will officially begin on July 28 with a match against the Serbian team.
