and not won gold — and clearly, doesn’t plan on that changing. Durant scored 29 points to keep his quest for a third Olympic title alive, and the Americans are headed to the medal round after ousting Spain 95-81 on Tuesday in a quarterfinal matchup at the Tokyo Games.
Ricky Rubio was brilliant for Spain, scoring 38 points, Sergio Rodriguez added 16 and Willy Hernangomez scored 10. Damian Lillard scored 11 and Zach LaVine added 10 for the U.S. “It was a huge boost," Durant said. “We didn't want to go into the half down double digits. ... We knew we didn't want to get down big against this team."
Spain got down seven early, then simply did whatever it wanted against the U.S. for a 10-minute stretch of the first half. It was a 29-12 run by the time it was over, a burst that turned a 17-10 early deficit into a 39-29 lead with 3:25 left until halftime.
