Another scare: US men's basketball team edges Serbia 94-91 Threatened by Australia in its previous game, the U.S. men's team started fast but had to survive a heart-racing final seconds to beat Serbia 94-91 on Friday, the 48th consecutive international tournament win for the Americans. Nikola Jokic scored 25, Milos Teodosic 18 and Miloslav Raduljica 18 before fouling out for the Serbs, who fell to 1-3 but left Carioca Arena feeling confident after taking the Americans down to the final ticks. [...] this never resembled that track meet as the Serbs slowed the tempo and forced the Americans into turnovers and rushed possessions. After Durant made three throws, Paul George knocked down a 3-pointer and Cousins made a play that drew a huge roar from the crowd — and Serbia's bench. Teodosic, one of Europe's top guards who hasn't tried his game in the U.S., made a couple nifty inside passes to the bearded and heavily tattooed Raduljica for dunks.
