Anthony Edwards was the top scorer for the third game with a personal-best 21 points.
Like Edwards, Johnson banged home three 3s on seven tries. He also went baseline for what was nearly a 360 dunk with a pump or two in the air., who followed up the 21 he scored in that thrilling win over Spain, in Spain, on Sunday with nine points . Brunson led the Americans with seven assists., who had played the fewest minutes on the team so far. Kessler was the first American off the bench Friday, and responded to his first test.
“That was the plan,” Kerr said of Kessler’s early minutes. “We wanted to get Bobby out there as well. Bobby got good minutes and he’s a crowd favorite apparently in every building we play in. And I thought those guys were both really good off the bench. The games are all very physical so there’s, there’s going to be moments for sure where Walker can really help us.”
The Antetokounmpo who is playing for Greece, Giannis’ brother and Milwaukee reserve Thanasis, scored four points in 24 minutes off the bench. Greece had two players score 12 points off the bench, and Walkup was one of two starters with 11 points. “They’re the most athletic, strongest team in the world,” Walkup said of USA. “That will be a completely different day . If anything it’s good to have a game on tape, get a feel for their athleticism, get a feel for their speed, and we’ll see where we are.”This was USA Basketball’s first game in Abu Dhabi, but the NBA has quickly become a familiar face in the desert.
