Curry putting on a show in Abu Dhabi

The 36-year-old point guard is 6/9 from 3-point range and has 24 points against Serbia. The latest one gave the U.S. a 95-66 lead.

Anthony Davis dominating the rim

The Lakers' star is up to six blocks in the game with seven minutes remaining. He also has seven points and six rebounds off of the bench.

Team USA leads Serbia through three quarters

After a second consecutive strong quarter, the U.S. leads Serbia, 83-58, with 10 minutes left in the game.

Anthony Edwards handles a scoop and score

The young guard snagged the ball from Serbia at the wing on the defensive side and ran down the court for an easy slam. Everything has clicked for the U.S. so far in the second half.

Bam Adebayo sinks 3-pointer

The 26-year-old center from the Miami Heat was the benefactor of good ball movement from the U.S. offense. As the shot clock wound down, Adebayo drilled a late shot from the top of the key.

Serbia cut their deficit to 18

Before the first media timeout of the second half, Serbia's shooting heated up. The team went on a 10-2 scoring run to cut into the U.S. lead and bring the score to 73-55 with four minutes remaining in the third quarter.

Team USA dominating early second half

Missed shots and strong American defense have held Serbia to zero points through three and a half minutes in the third quarter. Meanwhile, the U.S. is on a 12-0 run to begin the second half and extended the lead to 71-45.

United States leads Serbia at halftime, 59-45

The U.S. battled through the second quarter after a shaky first 10 minutes. A scoring run that began about halfway through the quarter carried Team USA to a 14-point halftime lead.

Anthony Davis up to four blocks on the day

A big part of Team USA's scoring run has been the strong defense from Lakers big man Anthony Davis, who blocked several shots at the rim during the run. The U.S. leads Serbia, 59-45.

United States extends lead with 13-2 scoring run

Curry's four-point play ignited the Americans, who add on with a big run to build their lead to 53-42 with two minutes left in the second quarter.

Derrick White on for Team USA debut

The Celtics' guard is on the court for his first minutes with the U.S. national team halfway through the second quarter.

Curry taking over

Team USA reclaimed the lead on a wide-open 3-pointer from Steph Curry, who kept the scoring going with a drive to the rim for two points and a four-point play on the next two possessions. The U.S. leads, 44-40.

Curry, James pair up to assist an easy shot for Embiid

The two multi-time NBA MVP winners team up with a couple of beautiful passes to find Joel Embiid open under the rim for a quick two points.

Serbia re-takes lead

Bad turnovers continue to plague the U.S., which has allowed Serbia to regain the lead with a couple of 3-pointers to open the third quarter. A tough drive by LeBron James ends an 8-0 run, but Serbia leads, 34-31.

U.S. - Serbia tied at 28 after first quarter

Serbia managed to get the ball down the court quickly after a couple of missed shots from Team USA. They hit a buzzer-beating layup to bring the score even as the first quarter ended.

Edwards draws U.S. even with a deep 3

After Team USA moved the ball around to begin the possession, the ball ended in the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves star. Edwards drains a 3-pointer from the top of the key to tie the game at 24 with one minute left in the first quarter.

He followed it up with a steal and drew a foul to go to the line, where he sank both free throws. The United States regain the lead, 26-24.

Jokić nails hook shot over two defenders

With two Americans on him, the center passed out to Dobrić for an open look beyond the arc. After the missed shot, Jokić grabbed the board and sunk a tough shot over the defense. Serbia leads, 22-19.

Dobrić, Petrušev team up for lob and slam

On a breakaway possession following a steal, Serbian small forward Ognjen Dobrić lobbed a pass to center Filip Petrušev, who slammed it down over Anthony Davis to give Serbia an 18-15 lead.

Jokić hears MVP chants at the foul line

The three-time and reigning NBA MVP got "M-V-P" chants from the crowd as he drained two foul shots. Serbia now leads 16-13 at the first media timeout.

Serbia takes and extends lead

Several miscommunications lead to turnovers from the United States, allowing Serbia to take and extend their lead with an 8-0 run. Serbia leads Team USA, 14-13, halfway through the first quarter.

Steph Curry opens U.S. scoring

After Team USA won the tip, Curry drained a 3-pointer from the left wing to begin the scoring for either side. He nailed another moments later to pull the Americans into a 7-4 lead two minutes into the game.
