Team USA was dealt its biggest test yet this summer on Sunday morning. In their final exhibition game before starting FIBA World Cup play next weekend, USA played Germany. For Lakers fans, it was a game of particular interest as Austin Reaves squared up with former Laker Dennis Schröder.
Earlier this summer, Reaves mentioned that he was most looking forward to playing Schröder and Germany.
