For Team Serbia, for Team USA it's going to be worth watching all run-up to the Olympics and in the game specifically today what the shape-shifting lineup looks like.
It's a third different starting lineup.
Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic ready to go and Team USA will have it first.
I would look for Step to be a little more active too.
Okay there's an opening three and that goes down.
Yeah I think a lot of golf after the season for Step.
Nice help Dee.
Petruchev spinning baseline for two.
Philip Petruchev.
Good reason.
And a stop for Guterich.
Guterich.
Marco Guterich with the slam.
And he can make some threes too, sidestep threes.
Curry pull-up.
Back to another three.
Step has all the points for Team USA.
Nice play.
Speed.
Embiid missed it right at the rim.
Curry.
Oh he's amazing.
Fun to watch.
Well we asked about the lineups and what the offense would look like with a different starting lineup.
It looks like all Step, Curry.
That's that set play.
Back screen and then a dribble handoff.
Abramovich defended by Holiday.
Got the screen from Jokic and knocks down a three.
They've been shooting deep those perimeter guys.
Holiday's got Jokic right now.
Jokic on Holiday spinning off of him.
He missed it.
Second chance is there.
He does a great job with his upper body.
Body in.
Forcing people under the rim.
It's an 8-0 run for Serbia in a minute and a half.
Fade away LeBron.
Oh that's cash.
Good shot.
The bench is a line change for Team USA including Devin Booker into the ballgame.
And his pull-up.
Good look for him.
Uh-oh.
Deliberate, huh?
Davis has the size advantage.
Jokic on him over to help and knocked away beautifully by Guterich.
And the lob to Petrichev.
How pretty was that?
The reach.
You have to concentrate defensively.
Then don't get back here.
That's what they're...
Oh my goodness.
Guterich to the rim for the stuff.
Here's Booker coming around the corner.
Nice cut.
Edwards.
Extra pass.
Got it to the corner.
That's three in the air.
And Bam out of Bayou knocks it down.
A dribble handoff.
Again, the lock flow.
Jokic turns it beautifully.
Got it to the wing.
That three won't go down.
Gets his own rebound and puts it in.
He just bodies people under the rim.
To Charlotte late in this NBA season.
Middle of the lane out of Bayou.
No.
Davis the hammer.
Well, he seems like he's going to get it.
Davis the hammer.
Well, he seems like we call that name frequently on the glass.
Edwards on the floor.
Gets the first touch really.
Meets it right in his pocket.
Edwards step back for three anyway.
Little step back.
Halliburton.
No good.
Petrushev hits it ahead.
And that layup will score.
Count the goal for Marinkovic.
Yeah, the head.
The vision.
Pull up three.
And it's good.
It's Guterich.
There's that pinch post.
They love to run.
Meets it.
Got the feet set.
And knocks it down.
Good for him.
Vasilye Meets it for three.
And a 6-0 run.
LeBlanc takes matters into his own hands.
What a physical.
It's a hard drive.
And it's two more for Abramovich.
They cleared the left side.
A strong opportunity.
Nice.
That was a slip-pitch.
There's a little flex screen on the baseline to get that look.
And Bede sets it up.
The rest is rather simple.
Fish in a barrel for Steph Curry.
No question.
Ready for Curry.
He had nine early for Team USA.
Jokic banging against Embiid.
Tough.
Footwork.
And the broad shoulders, too.
Very tough to reach across.
Look at how into this he is.
I was just going to say, you think he's into this?
Curry again.
Come on.
Donked into the rim.
Around the rim.
And Curry went down after the make.
So it was like five on four and a half.
Good point.
And then a foul.
Oh, my goodness.
No way.
Steph Curry going down to the ground to knock down a three and a foul.
Vintage.
A golden state.
By Mietzisch.
Davis sets the screen.
That's a pull-up.
It's a three.
And it's good for Edwards.
Nice job.
No show defensively.
Pomsich for Jokic.
There's the back screen.
Pitch dribble.
Exchange.
Jokic got bumped.
And he scores anyway.
Doesn't matter.
They're going to reset it to 12.
Jokic.
The rim run.
That's blocked by Davis.
Another eraser.
Pretty.
Mietzisch on the drive.
And a handoff.
It's knocked away by Adebayo.
Davis with their late shot clock.
It's wiped away again.
And that should be a whistle.
Davis met him and affected that shot again.
Look at this pass too.
Adebayo.
Edwards trailing for the stuff.
Turning it up right now.
Serbia won for its last nine in part because of Davis trying to hold his ground again.
And Jokic gets two and a foul this time.
He is a gamer this kid.
We got downhill with great force in the first half.
I like that set.
That is good basketball right there.
And Holliday buries it.
What they did there is let LeBron be the point guard.
He was an all-star back in 2013.
And then last year as well.
LeBron skating to the rim.
And now this is about a 20-point game.
Guteric.
Oh.
Oh my goodness.
Readjusting the molars.
Yeah, that's.
And then he doesn't even feel it.
Guteric does.
Mietzisch back on.
Here's LeBron.
Jokic got in the way.
Holliday an open three.
Nice extra pass.
And a bead.
Sued as told to us by the aforementioned administration.
Look at that pass.
Tatum.
Tatum getting right on the floor on the inbounds.
Lost it on the way up it looked like.
Yeah, it did.
That's Marinkovic.
Holliday, no.
Kind of a disjointed possession.
Open look.
That's good for Dobrych.
Bam says I got this.
Booker.
Buries a three.
Yeah, I thought he played well last game as well.
Here's Booker.
Eight to shoot.
Booker driving Marinkovic.
Halliburton got it up top.
Bam.
For three.
Bam.
Goodness.
Got their attention a little bit.
Jokic body to body with Davis.
What a matchup.
Jokic wins.
He doesn't step back.
You're there now.
Jokic fed by Davis.
And a take away.
Look out below.
Anthony Edwards with the stuff.
83-57.
We'll see what he does open floor.
Bam tried to go cross lane.
Here's Curry.
Doesn't leave much room at all.
Man, oh man.
Off the juggle for three.
That's as quick as I've seen a release.
Very little control.
Tatum.
Out of bio.
Hey!
Oh, man.
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
LeBron!
Oh, dazzling.
Take your choice.
Goodness, what a sprint to the rim.
Reset it.
It's Tatum this time.
That's no good.
Everybody's flying all over the place.
It's like five airplanes out there for Team USA.
Curry buries the three.
And all we're missing is sweet Georgia Browns.
Two unselfish extra look.
And how about that magic?
Gonna be 40, folks.
Well, could you do it, 40?
It's 20 years worth.
He was a rookie of the year in the NBA out of St. Vincent-St. Mary exactly 20 years ago.
And he has showstopped for year after year after year.
Moment after moment.
LeBron.
Bullying down the lane for two more and a foul.
How about the power?
The physique.
Goodness, they are serious.
Right here, taking on, decimating the interior.
And flexing them.
And why not?
If we had him, he might do the same.
As the United States, with Steph Curry putting up 24 points, wins 105-79.
A lot of fun.
I really played well.
Very determined.
That didn't turn it over.
Got the big lead, as they did against Australia.
