Durant tallied 23 points (8-9 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 17 minutes in Team USA's 110-84 win over Serbia in the Paris Olympics on Sunday.
After missing most of the preparation period for Team USA due to a calf strain, Durant came off the bench and scored a game-high 23 points. The superstar scored 21 points on 100 percent shooting from the field in the first half alone, proving why he is the top scorer in USA Olympic history. The 35-year-old got buckets easily, and it would not be a surprise if he eventually slots into the starting five as the squad has three more games in the group phase. Regardless of Durant's role, he will score at will and get his fair share of playing time.
