Throughout the entire game, Serbia tied down the Americans. In fact, that dominance began from the first quarter.

In fact, the quintet led by Nikola Jokic was up by 14 points, but the magic of Stephen Curry appeared to thwart the Serbians' desire with his legendary three-pointers.

The landscape changed in the last quarter, when the United States went on the offensive and managed to reduce the lead.

Although Bogdan Bogdanovic had a standout performance, with three three-pointers, the supremacy of the United States was proven.
