Quote of the Day
“It’s really hard in a 40-minute game to play more than 10 guys. With Kevin (Durant) coming back, I just went to the combinations that I felt made the most sense. It seems crazy. I thought I was crazy when I looked at everything and determined these are the lineups I wanted to get to.”
Team USA coach Steve Kerr
