It took a little extra times, but the Team USA men finally pulled away from the World squad for good at the Nike Hoop Summit.

After the World team wiped out a 16-point deficit over the final 4:46 of regulation, Team USA scored field goals on four of its first six possessions of overtime, including a pair of 3-pointers by Darius Acuff Jr. and Trey McKenney, to post a 124-114 victory Saturday night at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.

A.J. Dybantsa and Acuff led the team with 24 points apiece. Cameron Boozer and McKinney added 22 points in the win.

Tounde Yessoufou, who led the World squad with 24 points, drove the length of the court in the final 5.6 seconds, and laid in the basket to tie the game at 98-98, capping a 22-6 run to send the game into overtime.

But Boozer scored a quick bucket to start the extra period - and Acuff followed with a long 3-pointer.

Six of the top eight ranked players in the 2025 class (ESPN.com), including the top-ranked Dybantsa (BYU signee), of Utah Prep, and third-ranked Boozer (Duke signee), of Christopher Columbus High School in Florida, played in the game.

Team USA now leads the all-time series, 19-7, including the past five meetings. The most recent triumph was last year - a Cooper Flagg-led 98-75 victory.
