USA 92 – 88 Germany summary scores, stats and highlights | USA Basketball Showcase

July 22, 2024

Last game: Team USA

It was the most rattled we have seen this super squad during the USA Basketball Showcase. For most of the game, this team full of generational NBA stars were out hustled and out classed by a team from a country that has only existed for 13 years, and doesn’t even have an indoor basketball court within it’s borders. Despite stumbling at times throughout their first three exhibitions, Team USA’s superiority always rose to the top, but that wasn’t the case against South Sudan. They came out swinging but the young squad full of talented unknowns withstood the early storm and took the lead at the end of the first quarter. They would hold that lead until late in the third quarter, but LeBron James and Team USA would come storming back in the final 10 minutes. South Sudan was fearless, and resilient despite losing their lead, and came back with a three ball from JT Thor which gave South Sudan the lead with 20 seconds to go. On a team stacked with future Hall of Famers, it was LeBron James that had the ball in his hands and won the game with a tough lay up 8 seconds before the final buzzer sounded.
