The U.S. men’s basketball team got off to an ugly start at the Tokyo Olympics on Sunday as it lost to France, 83-76 in the opener for both teams.
There were some pretty wild numbers in this one.
First of all, France’s Evan Fournier (who plays for the Boston Celtics) led all scorers with 28 points.
Second of all, Jrue Holiday led Team USA with 18 points and he spent the past week winning and then celebrating a NBA championship with with the Bucks.
Third of all, Kevin Durant had just 10 points and fouled out of the game.
Not a great start at at all for Team USA.
Durant and Draymond Green are teammates again, though, and this photo of them on the bench in the final seconds led to a lot of jokes:
