It was Green’s former Warriors Teammate, Kevin Durant, who was dominant for Team USA, scoring a game-high 29 points, including 21 of those points in the first half.
This is Green’s second gold medal after he won one in 2016 at the Rio Olympic games. Team USA has now won four consecutive Olympic gold medals.
