LeBron James orchestrated a dramatic fourth-quarter surge that propelled Team USA past Germany in their final exhibition before the 2024 Olympics.
With Friday’s flag-bearing honor on the horizon, LeBron first led the charge for the U.S. men’s basketball squad once again.
In a gripping showdown in London on Monday night, James poured in the game’s last 11 points, clinching a hard-fought 92-88 victory over reigning World Cup champions Germany. This victory served as a crucial tune-up ahead of the Paris Games later this week. Earlier in the day, he had been named the U.S. male flagbearer for the upcoming opening ceremony along the Seine, with the female counterpart set to be revealed on Tuesday. His heroics mirrored those from the weekend, where his last-second layup secured a 101-100 triumph against South Sudan.
James led all scorers with 20 points, while Joel Embiid contributed 15, Stephen Curry added 13, and Anthony Edwards chipped in 11.
