On the Serbian side, Nikola Jokic put up a valiant effort with 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, shooting 8-for-15 from the field. Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 14 points, Ognen Dobric had 13, and Aleksa Avramovic added 10. However, Serbia struggled mightily from beyond the arc, making just 9-of-37 three-pointers.
Despite a sluggish start, Team USA quickly found their rhythm. The game remained close until the second quarter, where Serbia cut the lead to just 2 points at times. However, once Kevin Durant started heating up, Team USA took a double-digit lead and never looked back.
LeBron James orchestrated the offense masterfully, creating great looks for his teammates. The 39-year-old superstar had several highlight plays, including a steal followed by a coast-to-coast layup over two defenders. His mean mug expression, chest-thumping, and triumphant scream were sights to behold, igniting fans both in the arena and watching from home.

Team USA had a couple of close games in their exhibition showcase, but if they maintain this impressive form, the rest of the world stands little chance. Fans are buzzing with excitement, hoping this dominant performance sets the tone for the rest of the tournament. The combination of veteran leadership and sharpshooting prowess has them dreaming of another gold medal.
