BEIJING 2008: UNITED STATES BEATS SPAIN 107-118
TAKES GOLD
Yes, the U.S. is back atop the basketball world.
Dwyane Wade scored 27 points and Kobe Bryant added
20, including 13 in the final quarter, to guide
the United States to a 118-107 win over a
depleted, but enthusiastic, Spain squad in the
gold medal game.
"This feels great," said Wade. "We haven't won
gold in eight years. A lot of people doubted that
NBA stars could play together."
Before Sunday the most points the U.S. men allowed
in an Olympic game was 96, and that was an
eight-point win over Lithuania in the bronze medal
game four years ago.
Despite the defensive woes, the offense was
spectacular for Mike Krzyzewski's team, going
13-of-28 from three-point range and shooting 60
percent overall.
"After I got into foul trouble early, I played a
little cautious," said Bryant. "But in the fourth
quarter, Coach K told me to let that momma loose,
and that's what I tried to do."
Rudy Fernandez had 22 points and Pau Gasol 21 for
Spain, which was within four points late in the
final quarter.
The U.S. beat Spain, 119-82, in pool play, but
despite the loss of guard Jose Calderon (groin),
the Spanish team hung with the team chock full of
NBA All- Stars and nearly pulled an incredible
upset.
Since the introduction of the Dream Team in 1992,
the U.S. had won every gold medal in men's
basketball until the bump in the road in Athens
four years ago. Then came a bronze finish at the
2006 world championships. Sunday though brought
redemption.
