Team Usa Gets A Scare From Australia Before Pulling Out 98-92 Exhibition Win In Abu Dhabi 

#Team Usa Gets A Scare From Australia Before Pulling Out 98-92 Exhibition Win In Abu Dhabi
Devin Booker Was The Difference In The Closing Seconds For Team Usa
Perhaps The Time Difference In Abu Dhabi Was A Factor, But Team Usa Had A Closer Game Versus Australia On Monday Than Many Would Have Predicted.
The Americans Eventually Prevailed, 98-92, But An Australian Squad With Several Nba Players Provided Some Impressive Opposition In Its Exhibition Matchup At Etihad Arena. Jock Landale Scored 20 Points With Seven Rebounds And Six Assists, While Josh Giddey Tallied 17 Points, Eight Rebounds And Seven Assists. Dyson Daniels Added 14.
Australia Cuts The Lead To 5

It Was A Four-Point Contest With 30 Seconds Remaining Before Devin Booker Put The Game Away With A Jumper In The Lane And Two Free Throws At The End. Tyrese Haliburton Also Hit Two Clutch 3-Pointers To Keep Australia From Closing The Margin To Within Two Points Or Tying The Score.
That Salvaged A Relatively Sluggish Offensive Team Usa Performance, Which Seemed Content To Rely On Its Star Players' Talents Rather Than Execute Plays Throughout The Game. Yet Australia Has Been A Tough Matchup For The Americans Before, Winning Exhibition Contests In 2019 And 2021. Landale Had Success Inside, While Australia's Guards Frequently Scored On Drives To The Basket.
