LONDON (AP) ― The hiccups outnumbered the highlights, and for a while the U.S. racked up fouls faster than points.

The opener wasn’t artistic.

However, it was enough ― easily enough.

Kevin Durant scored 22 points in his Olympic debut, Kevin Love added 14 and LeBron James had eight assists as the American men’s basketball team overcame some sloppy moments with a 98-71 win Sunday over France.

“We know everybody else expects us to win by 40 points,” said Carmelo Anthony. “For us, a win’s a win. We expect every game to be like this one.”
