LILLE, France -- Kevin Durant is happiest when he's playing basketball. And when he's playing basketball, Durant is happiest when he's thriving for Team USA.

Already the most decorated and accomplished player in national team history, Durant added another volume to his tremendous Olympic record with a brilliant performance in Team USA's 110-84 victory over Serbia in a pivotal pool play game Sunday.

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.
