Opposite an outclassed and overwhelmed Chinese national collection, USA Olympic basketball continued making beneficial strides toward their August 6 Rio opener. Following an effortless first-half performance, Team USA displayed mid-Olympic form in routing fellow Group A denizens China 106-57.
Once more, Kevin Durant led a high-octane Team U.S. offense with 19 points and five assists. Five other American players joined Durant in double-figure scoring, including Klay Thompson (17), DeMar DeRozan (13), DeMarcus Cousins (12), DeAndre Jordan (12), and Kyrie Irving (10).
Collective scoring aside, the most impressive aspect of Team USA's Sunday night showcase was how seamlessly the unit gelled as a whole.
