After suffering their first loss since 2006 on Saturday, the USA Basketball Men's National Team started a new winning streak on Monday with an 84-68 exhibition win over Canada in Sydney, Australia.

Pacers center Myles Turner played a major part in Monday's victory, tallying 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting, 15 rebounds, and two blocks in the Americans' final tune-up for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, which begins on Saturday in China.
