Kevin Durant had high praise for Steph Curry after Team USA's win

After Team USA's 17-point comeback rally win against Serbia, Kevin Durant had high praise for Steph Curry's heroics when addressing the media.

"That was a godlike performance. That was tough because he felt like he was struggling throughout the whole tournament. And we always said each night it could be somebody different. And tonight, he showed up."

Durant's praise also shows how important the win was for the three veterans, who in all probability are playing their last Olympics. James will be well over 40, while Curry and Durant are already hitting the 35 mark. This will be their chance to sign off with another medal, which will also be Steph Curry's first in his storied career.

The focus now shifts to Saturday when the US will play France after the hosts beat Germany 73-69 in another scintillating semifinal. With NBA stars Rudy Gobert and Victor Wembanyama in prime form, the USA will have their work cut out when they face the French in their backyard. Tip-off between the two teams is slated for 5 am ET on Saturday, Aug. 10) at the Accor Arena.
