Group USA has misplaced simply 4 exhibition video games since professionals began to play in 1992 and half of them have occurred in previous two days. Group USA now could be 54-4 in exhibition video games since 1992.
Patty Mills helped Australia earn a 91-83 win in Las Vegas as he scored 10 of his 22 factors within the fourth quarter. Damian Lillard led Group USA with 22 factors whereas Kevin Durant added 17 of his personal.
Jayson Tatum scored eight factors (4-for-12 from the sector) with 4 assists and three rebounds in 26 minutes.
The shortage of success by Group USA appears to have head coach Gregg Popovich a bit on edge.
Group USA, who’s 0-2 in exhibition play, will play its closing tune-up recreation Tuesday towards Argentina earlier than heading to the Toyko Olympics. They’re going to play their first Olympic recreation July 25 towards France.
