Cleared to play less than an hour before the game after missing a month with a calf injury, Durant made an instant and dramatic impact as he nailed his first eight shots, five of them 3-pointers, in a 23-point masterpiece in just 17 dazzling minutes.

US was in trouble late first quarter before KD entered the lineup. The Slim Reaper put on a show including a turnaround fadeaway 15 footer at the buzzer to end the half.

I tuned into peacock late in the 3rd quarter about four hours after you posted this. No problem! It was already a blowout by then, though I kind of expected that to happen.

My thread was posted about 20 minutes after the game aired live. It would have been around 11 or 12 on the East Coast.
