Another easy victory for U.S.

Kevin Durant poured in 22 points as the United States recorded its second comfortable victory at the FIBA World Championships, beating Slovenia 99-77 in Istanbul.

Rudy Gay (16 points), Russell Westbrook (11), Andre Iguodala (11) and Kevin Love (10 with 11 rebounds) also contributed in the Group B contest.

"Coach told us that we wanted to disrupt their offense by pressuring them and getting into the passing lanes and I just tried to do that," said Durant, who hit 8 of 13 shots. "I played my hardest and I was able to get my hands on a couple of basketballs and get us some easy points."

The U.S. continues preliminary-round play Monday against Brazil.

"It was a good, tough international game," coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "Our kids played hard.  We've played 80 minutes in this tournament and we've played hard for 80."

Elsewhere, Germany shocked Serbia 82-81 in double-overtime behind Jan-Hendrik Jagla's 22 points, and defending champion Spain topped New Zealand 101-84.
