Steph Curry drops 26 points as USA smash Jokic, Serbia in pre-Olympic exhibition game
Team USA delivered their most impressive performance yet in the pre-Olympic exhibition tour, dominating Serbia with a 26-point victory on Wednesday.
The Americans' convincing win was fueled by a prolonged run that began late in the first half, allowing them to pull away from a Serbian team missing Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic.
