On Thursday in Heraklion, Greece, the USA Basketball under-19 team completed its two-game exhibition slate 2-0, besting Serbia 92-88. Team USA staved off a late Serbian comeback thanks to 2020 five-star recruit and top OSU target Cade Cunningham.
After leading by double digits for most of the game, the U.S. amateurs were outscored 24-17 in the final period allowing Serbia, led by Marko Pecarski (23 points and 10 rebounds), to tie 87-87 with 1.11 remaining.
Cunningham scored on a drive to retake the lead for good.
