Harrison Barnes (22 points), Kemba Walker (18 points) and Khris Middleton (16 points) were the best players of the losing squad.

Serbia made a tremendous start and took a 25-point lead (32-7). However, the Americans turned things around and made a come-back 44-40 at halftime. Yet, they never claimed the lead and were defeated.
