KEVIN Durant called Stephen Curry’s 36-point effort in the United States’ 95-91 win over Serbia a “God-like performance” as the four-time reigning Olympic champions pulled off an exhilarating fourth-quarter comeback.

Curry kept the US in the game as Serbia dominated through the first three quarters and threatened a semi-final upset, leading by 13 going into the final period at Bercy Arena.
