Team USA tipped off their first exhibition game on Wednesday night with a dominant 86-72 victory over Team Canada. The game, held at a packed T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, featured high level NBA talent on both teams as the two countries prep for the upcoming Paris Olympics later this month.
Golden State Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry was among the standout performances during last night’s game. He lit up the scoreboard with 12 points, shooting an efficient 5-of-8 from the field, including three three-pointers. Despite playing in a game full of stars, Curry’s signature style of play, marked by his infectious enthusiasm and three-point marksmanship, shined the brightest for the world to see.
Fans were especially thrilled to witness Curry finally teaming up with fellow NBA superstar LeBron James. The duo did not disappoint, providing several electrifying highlights throughout the game, including this classic Curry relocation three with the aid of a well-placed James’ screen.
Minutes later, Curry returned the favor as the duo raced down the court for a fast break. Curry lobbed an alley-oop pass to James, who finished with a thunderous dunk, bringing the crowd to its feet.
