Kevin Durant got to share the court with Klay Thompson and Draymond Green during gameplay for the first time, and it resulted in a win for Team USA over Argentina 111-74.
The exhibition game was played in Las Vegas and serves as a warmup for the Summer Olympics in Rio beginning on August 5.
Durant lead the game with 23 points. He was the leading scorer for the 2012 team that won the gold medal in London, and looks like he’s continuing right where he left off.
Along with Durant, Thompson, and Green consisting of 3 out of the 12 members of Team USA, former Warriors player Harrison Barnes is also a part of the squad. Warriors fans have a strong connection to this Olympic team, which will attempt to win a 3rd straight gold medal.
Anything less for Team USA would be a major disappointment, even considering how many players declined to be a part of the team.
