It didn't seem that way in men's basketball to start the Rio Games, but it's getting closer. Threatened by Australia in its previous game, the U.S. men's team started fast but had to survive a heart-racing final seconds to beat Serbia 94-91 on Friday, the 48th consecutive international tournament win for the Americans. It was the first Olympic game between the nations, and a rematch of the 2014 Basketball World Cup championship won by the U.S. 129-92. Durant, who only attempted four shots, misfired with eight seconds left giving Serbia one last chance. Serbia coach Sasa Djordjevic thought Cousins traveled on the play and was slapped with a technical foul.
