Despite leading by as much as 24 points, Team USA saw its advantage diminish as Australia mounted a strong comeback in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Key moments included Tyrese Haliburton&#8217;s back-to-back 3-pointers, which reestablished a 12-point lead for the Americans with just two and a half minutes left in the game. Although Australia managed to cut the deficit to four points with less than 10 seconds remaining, Team USA secured the win at the free-throw line.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Team USA SURVIVES Australia in 98-92 win \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n<p>AD: 17 PTS, 14 REB<br \/>\nAnt: 14 PTS, 5-11 FG <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8fW09JiP49\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/8fW09JiP49<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport\/status\/1812911936964817106?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 15, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Anthony Davis played a pivotal role, leading the team with 17 points, 14 rebounds, and two blocks.
