The USA men’s basketball team had to stage another fourth quarter comeback during its preparations for the Olympic Games as it eked past Germany, 92-88.
Following Saturday’s last-gasp victory against South Sudan, the USA were forced to once again fight deep into the game – this time against a determined Germany team. But some things never change, and yet again it was LeBron James who put on a late show to lead Team USA to a fifth win out of five during the USA Basketball Showcase.
The four-time defending Olympic gold medalists headed into the break with the momentum and a 48-41 lead. A second-half scare Coming out of the halftime interval Germany seemed keen to not let the game follow the same script as the first half, and an incredible third quarter propelled the Europeans into the lead. Germany fans also seemed rejuvenated after the break and cheered every point, rebound and hustle from the team in red – creating a cauldron-like atmosphere inside the arena.
