OLYMPICS — BASKETBALL Sunday, August 14, 2016 Argentina downs rival Brazil in 2-OT thrillerCampazzo and Nocioni shine in 111-107 victory to put home side in troubleRIO DE JANEIRO — Argentina’s players locked arms and danced in a circle near mid-court. Beating Brazil, on its home court, is as good as it gets for Argentina. “We wanted it to be a big basketball party, and it was,” said Argentina captain Luis Scola. Argentina went up by seven early in the second OT, but Barbosa brought Brazil back and pulled the hosts within 109-107. In hopes of keeping their fans from fighting, Scola and Brazil captain Marcelinho Huertas addressed the crowd before the game, urging them to respect each other.
