The first time Team USA and Serbia met, during group play, the game was close. On that day, the Americans eked out a three point 86-83 win and many were wondering if it would be possible to take one from the latest iteration of the “Dream Team.”
What a quaint notion.
Yesterday, in the Olympic men’s basketball gold medal game — a rematch of USA vs. Serbia — the outcome was far different. America smashed its way to an easy 96-66 victory, powered by a cool 30 points from Kevin Durant. As with almost all of Team USA’s games, it was not particularly competitive.
