Pacers center Myles Turner and the USA Basketball Men's National Team prevailed in their first exhibition game in preparation for next month's FIBA World Cup, knocking off Spain on Friday night in Anaheim, 90-81.
After starting last week's intrasquad scrimmage in Las Vegas, Turner came off the bench against the world's second-ranked national team. The 23-year-old put together a solid effort, tallying eight points on 3-of-3 shooting, three rebounds, and two blocks in 15:25.
Turner checked into Friday's game at the 6:35 mark, replacing starting center Mason Plumlee. He had a strong first shift, scoring six points in a 1:28 stretch.
