Team USA Basketball will play its second exhibition game together as the team continues its pre-Olympics showcase schedule.

The United States defeated Canada on Wednesday, 86-72, in the first game of the USA Basketball Showcase in Las Vegas. The Americans will take on Australia on Monday for the first of two games in Abu Dhabi.

In all, the Team USA roster will have played five games together during the showcase prior to the start of the 2024 Paris Olympics. After its two games in Abu Dhabi, the team will play two more games in London before playing its first group stage game of the Olympics on July 28.

Follow along as the U.S. takes on Australia in a pre-Olympics tune-up game.

Team USA lead the Boomers 53-37 through 20 minutes of play at Etihad Arena.

The United States’ starting center pulled up from the top of the key and drained a 3-pointer, adding on to Team USA’s big lead and continuing its run of success from beyond the arc.

Seven minutes into the second quarter, United States players are 11/11 from the free-throw line. Team USA leads, 46-30.

Australia ate away at the Americans’ lead nearly halfway through the second quarter with a 7-0 run, but Curry drilled a deep 3-pointer to get the United States back on the board.

Curry, Edwards, Tatum, James and Embiid are back out on the floor for Team USA early in the second quarter.

The United States have put themselves up 32-21 after the first 10 minutes of action.

Halfway through the first quarter, Tyrese Haliburton, Bam Adebayo, Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker all enter the game.

Edwards leads both teams with 11 points through the first five minutes of the game, including a 3/3 mark on 3-point attempts and 4/4 mark from the field.

Three minutes into the first quarter, LeBron James and Anthony Edwards are both 2/2 from 3-point range.
