Efficient outing to take home gold
After posting a team-high 13 points on 5-for-7 from the field at the half, Booker was quiet while shooting 1-for-3 in the second half. However, Team USA took home gold, and Booker's three-point shooting was a major reason why. The 27-year-old averaged 11.7 points, 3.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds across 22.0 minutes per game in six Olympic appearances. Booker also shot an impressive 56.5 percent from deep, and he was a consistent bucket for Team USA.

Notches 11 points in Olympic win
Durant's 11 points officially put him atop Team USA's leaderboard for career points on the men's or women's side. The superstar missed significant time with Team USA due to a minor calf injury, and he has been coming off the bench for the entirety of the Olympics. While leading the bench unit, the 35-year-old averaged 16.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 19.3 minutes per game in three group-stage appearances. Durant's success from the group stage and game one of the quarterfinals will likely continue, and Team USA is now one step closer to a gold medal.
