Durant wrapped his arm around Mills and replied: "Yo! Patty coming back to the BK (Brooklyn), black and white.
"Hey, you was ballin' - you got 40 tonight!"
Then he yelled out, possibly to USA teammate Jayson Tatum: "There's gonna be problems for them Boston Celtics this year! I'm telling you."

Durant, an NBA MVP and dual NBA Finals MVP, gave Australia a painful reminder of his exceptional talent when he torched the Boomers in the semi-finals, ending their hopes of winning gold in Tokyo.
After taking bronze, Mills was adamant that it was just another step on the road to one day winning Olympic gold.
