For any team to beat USA, they must outshoot USA, make all their shots, employ the perfect strategy, keep pushing USA, and keep this up until the game ends. Serbia ticked all the boxes until the end of the 3rd quarter. Serbia finally dried up their plays, got lazy, sloppy and missed important shots. USA needed no time to catch up, as few as 5 counter attacks can easily get USA back, and that's what happened. USA closed out, Serbia didn't. In a perfect day, a great team MAY beat USA. But it has to be perfect in all quarters. Serbia played really well, but this match only gets to show that a bad USA can only be beaten if the other team has the perfect game.
