Despite having NBA star Manu Ginobili, the Argentinian national Olympics team couldn’t keep up with America’s Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant in the second half of Monday’s preliminary matchup.

Durant had a team high of 28 points in the team’s 126-97 victory, which included plenty of deep three-pointers, monster dunks, and wild celebrations on the sidelines.
