Australia Tops Team USA in 2024 Olympic Men's Basketball Exhibition Game

Team USA Reaches Gold Medal Game

Patty Mills Leads Australia to Stunning Victory

In a thrilling exhibition game ahead of the 2024 Olympics, Australia emerged victorious over Team USA, snapping the Americans' 78-game winning streak. Patty Mills, who led Australia with 30 points, was instrumental in the team's second-half comeback from a 10-point deficit.

Team USA, featuring a star-studded roster including NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, struggled to find their rhythm throughout the game. Despite a 22-point performance from Kevin Durant, the Americans were unable to overcome Australia's relentless defense and timely shooting.

Australia's win serves as a major upset and a reminder that they are a legitimate contender for an Olympic medal. With a team led by Mills, Ben Simmons, and Josh Giddey, the Aussies have the talent and experience to challenge for the gold in Paris.

Team USA, on the other hand, will have to regroup and refocus after this setback. They will face Lithuania in the gold medal game, giving them a chance to redeem themselves and secure a podium finish.
