It wasn't the smoothest of rides for the U.S. men's basketball team, but in the end they will exit these Olympics with a fourth consecutive gold medal.

"We went through some real adversity. We just fought though everything," said Kevin Durant, who scored a game-high 29 points to cap another brilliant Olympics.
