Team USA with an easy win over Argentina in first exhibition game before Rio
Kevin Durant is the top scorer with 23 points
Kevin Durant scored 23 points, DeMarcus Cousins had 14 points and 15 rebounds, and Paul George added 18 off the bench as USA Basketball began its 2016 Olympic gold medal quest with a 111-74 exhibition victory over Argentina Friday night at T-Mobile Arena.
Playing together after just four days of practice, Team USA's greater challenges came more from communication and teamwork, less from the skill level of the Argentinians. But the NBA stars kept their turnovers to a reasonable number while pushing Argentina's attempts to the perimeter.
