You know Mikal Bridges is feeling it when he's shooting walk-up 3s like KD. Bridges is the first player in double digit scoring today with 11 early points. He is locked in on both ends of the floor. <a href="">#Nets</a> <a href="">

Haliburton came off the bench to produce the only other American scoring total over 15 points. The Indiana Pacers guard filled up the scoring column with three-point shots and handed out some incredible assists.

Call this a hot take, but there are few players in the world who can score as easily as Bogdan Bogdanovic at all three levels when the Serbian sharpshooter is in rhythm. He's got 18 first half points to power a 49-38 lead over Lithuania at halftime here in Manila, win or go home.

Bogdanovic produced two straight 20-point performances to put Serbia into the semifinals against the United States.

Bogdanovic, Nikola Jovic of the Miami Heat and Co. need a win over the Canada-Slovenia winner to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The two best-placing European teams qualify for Paris. Germany, Latvia and Slovenia are still alive in the other half of the bracket.
