This is the potential of Team USA when all players put their heads down and the baskets start to fall.

In an otherwise powerful and muscular exhibition of domination, the United States defeated Serbia,105-79; in only eleven days, they will meet Serbia in the Olympic opener. Stephen Curry and, yes, Bam Adebayo, were responsible for the aerial onslaught.

As they exchanged roles in front of the media following their combined nine 3s for Team USA, Adebayo said, “Here comes the real Splash Brother” before Curry did the same.

Among American players this summer, Curry has the most points with 24. He scored 18 of those points in the first half, when he made four three-pointers in 11 minutes. In the opening play of the game, he set the tone by knocking one down off a screen by LeBron James. In the second quarter, he delivered one of those spectacular four-point plays, splashing a shot near the sideline while drawing contact.

Team USA head coach Steve Kerr reintroduced his starting lineup in the fourth quarter with a lead of almost 25 points, and Curry made two more 3-pointers before he blew the game open.
