In the game against Australia on Friday, Team USA displayed a balanced performance, shooting 50.0% (34 of 68) from the field, including 41.2% (7 of 17) from three-point range. The team excelled at the free-throw line, making 90.9% (10 of 11) of their attempts, and out-rebounded Australia by 12, compensating for their one additional turnover.
