Team USA narrowly beat Serbia yesterday, 94-91, and came way too close for comfort to losing its first game since falling to Greece in the 2006 World Championships. The three-point victory, its closest since a 70-68 win over Brazil in 2010, was a far cry from the dominance shown during the 2014 World Championships.
Team USA walked over everybody in that competition, winning by at least 21 points in every game it played on its way to an easy trophy. But now, win back-to-back scary games against Serbia and Australia, people are starting to wonder if an upset is possible in Rio.
