Team USA cruises past Serbia 96-66 to win 2016 gold medal

Kevin Durant had 30 points to help Team USA blow out Serbia in the Men's Basketball Finals, winning the United States their third straight gold medal.

Team USA routed Serbia in the Gold Medal Game to lead them to their third straight Olympic gold medal. The United States weren't without their struggles in this Olympic run, but came together for an impressive finale that cemented their run as a successful one. Those struggles were on display early, when Serbia jumped out to a 14-12 lead.

The lack of ball movement and defense worked against Team USA, but the game was turned around when Paul George and the second unit entered, leading to a 21-6 run that put the United States up double figures.
