I’m sure nobody stayed up to watch it but the U.S. actually had a close game against Spain. They were only up 4 late in the 4th quarter when Spain just started getting frustrated and taking stupid technical fouls.
But now, order is restored and the U.S. is once again on top of the basketball world.
Huge props to Jerry Colangelo and Mike Krzyzewski getting this team to play hard. Not difficult to figure out that if you can get a bunch of guys playing together for extended periods of time and use their athleticism(cough cough Larry Brown) and force turnovers, that these games end up a lot easier than they should be.
**Update**
Shoulda checked AwfulAnnouncing before I posted. He has great video of the U.S. players going over to Doug Collins and shaking his hand after the buzzer sounds.
