Steph Curry and Team USA faced the Australian men’s basketball team in an exhibition game in Abu Dhabi. This is the second game Curry and the USA men’s basketball team have played before the Summer Olympics in Paris later this month.
Curry had a tough night from the floor as he shot poorly from the 3-point line. The Golden State Warriors star scored only three points, going 1-6 from beyond the arc in 21 minutes. He also added one assist, one rebound and two steals in Team USA's 98-92 win on Sunday.
Anthony Davis, who came off the bench, was the top scorer for Team USA with 17 points. He also had two blocks and 14 rebounds in the game. Devin Booker, who also came off the bench, scored 16 points. LA Lakers superstar LeBron James had 10 points, with 2 of 4 shooting from beyond the arc.
The fact that, at one point in the game, Team USA led by 21 points and yet they won by just six points should be concerning. On a positive note, the team has been together for a short time and will pick up as the days go by.

What was even funnier in the video was how Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid watched from behind. The Sixers star observed the incident from a bit away, as if he wanted to stay away. Curry even tried to offer his other teammates to hold the ball, but his offers were declined.
The heavily loaded Team USA arrived in Abu Dhabi a day before the team was scheduled to play Australia for the exhibition match. From LeBron James and Kevin Durant to Steph Curry, the superstars were greeted with much-deserved respect.
One of the highlights was the encounter Steph Curry had with the flacon bird. As Curry arrived, he was given the opportunity to let the falcon sit on his hands. The majestic bird is also the national symbol of the UAE.
