The USA team weathered Germany's early advantage that saw them lead by 16 points in the third quarter.

In a high-tempo game, setting the stage for the upcoming 2023 FIBA Men’s World Cup, Tyrese Haliburton and Austin Reaves helped Team USA crawl back the lead.

Finally, it was Anthony Edwards who ultimately sealed the eight-point victory. He scored two key three-pointers.

"This was the best game I've had so far," Edwards, who led all the scorers with 34 points, said at the finish.

"We had to face adversity and it was a fight for us. Tyrese Haliburton and Austin Reaves came big in the second half and the energy that came from them off the bench was much needed for us to win the game."

The curtain-closing exhibition marked the end of an exhilarating week of basketball action in Abu Dhabi held in partnership with Department of Culture and Tourism.
