OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Cheered all night long by his basketball-crazed new fan base, Kevin Durant knocked down a 3-pointer on the Americans' first touch and slammed home a dunk the very next time down the floor.
Then, another pretty one-handed jam just a few minutes after that.
What a performance for Golden State's latest big star to help lead the U.S. Olympic team past China 107-57 on Tuesday night for a third dominant victory in as many exhibition games.
Durant, who finalized his two-year contract with the Warriors on July 8, scored all 13 of his points during a 13½-minute span of the first half while playing his first game at his new home, Oracle Arena.
