The disappointing start to the Rio Games " losing twice before the medial round " is reminiscent of the London Games. Brazil was physical with the Spanish team and got the go-ahead basket on a follow shot by Marcus Marquinhos with 5.5 seconds left. "We lost the first two games, but I remember in London we lost two games, too. The Spanish team plays Nigeria, Lithuania and Argentina in the final three games of pool play. Spain dropped to 0-2 after Tuesday's 66-65 loss to Brazil, but there's still a level of optimism in the locker room.
