Want an enticing preview of the Boston Celtics' 2019-20 season? Head down to Melbourne, Australia.

That's where Team USA battled Team Australia on Thursday morning in a tune-up game for the 2019 FIBA World Cup.

The Celtics have four players on Team USA -- Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart -- and all except Smart saw significant playing time in the Americans' 102-86 win.

And wouldn't you know it, but Tatum and Brown provided one of the highlights of the game, as the former found his Celtics teammate for a nifty alley-oop in the fourth quarter.

Brown's dunk was part of a strong Team USA run that helped the visitors pull away for a double-digit win.

Both Brown and Tatum finished with 11 points in the game, while Walker dazzled with a game-high 23 points on 9-of-22 shooting.
