Team USA men's basketball team was locked in yet another tight battle Monday, this time against Germany. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Americans made a run that was capped by a ridiculous circuit shot from Devin Booker.
It was a two-way sequence for Booker, as helped forced a steal by Joel Embiid on one end with the game tied at 75. Team USA quickly got out in transition and Steph Curry threw a no-look pass to Booker on the right wing. The Phoenix Suns All-Star went up into a German defender and somehow made the shot through heavy contact.
COUNT IT!

Booker was fouled and made the free throw to give Team USA a 78-75 lead. It was also Booker's first field goal of the game as he hasn't produced much offensively.
The Americans finished off Germany 92–88 to wrap up its pre-Olympics exhibition schedule a perfect 5–0.
