Kevin Durant led the way once again, scoring 30 points as Team USA made the gold medal game more of a business as usual scrimmage. DeMarcus Cousins had a double-double of his own, scoring 13 points and grabbing 15 rebounds.
There were storylines all over the place in this game. Carmelo Anthony featured in his final Olympic game, winning a third gold medal. During these Olympics, Anthony either set or extended a series of Team USA records including points and 3-point attempts while finishing second in 3-pointers made.
The on-going saga of Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes spending excessive time on the bench, even in a blowout, turned from headscratcher to a launching pad for the belief that it was something more than that.
