During a final tune-up before Team USA begins to play at the FIBA World Cup, no one had a better celebration than Tyrese Haliburton.
Despite trailing against Germany during the showcase, the United States was able to secure the victory. To secure the victory, Lakers wing Austin Reaves forced a steal on the defensive end of the floor that turned into an emphatic dunk.
Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton trailed Reaves on the fastbreak and once he saw Reaves jump, he lept in the air and could not contain his excitement for his teammate. It was an awesome moment that looked great as it happened:

But it looked even better in this photograph that captured all of the joy on Haliburton’s face, too.
Look how excited he is to see Reaves throw it down on the international stage during this victory over Germany:

It looks like the Team USA squad is already developing tremendous chemistry.
They will play their first official game of the tournament against New Zealand on August 26. The next two games are against Greece (August 28) and Jordan (August 30) if you want to catch the action.
