In the previous game, played in Los Angeles, Durant and other Warriors players were booed by some of the fans, either for being Los Angeles Clippers rivals, or simply for playing for the Warriors.

But beyond the stat sheet, for the first time in ages Durant looked genuinely happy on the court. “I don’t remember (his) exact words, but just how the chemistry would be with Kevin coming along and if I was willing to sacrifice touches or exposure or all that”.
Through two games, only New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony has started each contest, and its possible Krzyzewski expands the roles of Green, Bulls guard Jimmy Butler, and former Warrior turned Dallas Maverick Harrison Barnes.
Curry who opted out of playing for the Americans in their Rio Olympic run had a courtside seat to watch with his wife, Ayesha.
Amid concern over police shootings of unarmed black men and shootings targeting cops in America and terrorism sparking fear worldwide, Durant said wearing the US jersey means more and hopefully can be a unifying force.
“I knew that I was going to pull the first shot since, like, yesterday”. Thompson drained 15 points, doing most of his damage from beyond the arc, and Green created opportunities for his team-mates while adding four points.
Or maybe, given his new professional affiliation, we should say Durant “splashed” it from deep. Below are the highlights of the second USA-China game.
George played the final 4:52 of the first quarter without making a mark, but finished the second period well, contributing a blocked shot, two 3-pointers and an assist to Kevin Durant for a transition 3-pointer in the final 2 1/2 minutes. “The fans showed me major love, so I appreciate that”, he said.
The USA men’s basketball team has proven that they are still the most dominant team that will be participating in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The United States made 14 3-pointers in its second straight victory over China. After missing seven three-point attempts, he got into the lane and completed a three-point play in the fourth quarter. The crowd was filled with Warriors fans who’re excited to see one of the best players in the National Basketball Association make an already historically proficient Warriors team even stronger. I don’t know if you decide to go back to OKC if they’re going to be as forgiving as Cleveland was when LeBron came back but as far as I’m concerned YOU KEVIN DURANT ARE NUMBER 1 ON OKC HATE LIST.

And he seems to really mean it.
