U.S. tops Spain to advance to gold-medal game in men's basketball


U.S. big man DeAndre Jordan reacts after slamming down a rebound in front of Spanish center Pau Gasol during a semifinal game at the 2016 Summer Games on Aug. 19. It wasn’t pretty, but Team USA has advanced to Sunday's gold-medal men's basketball game. The referees tried to wrestle control of the game early and doled out five technical fouls, giving the game a choppy pace. Despite defeating Australia, 98-88, the Americans trailed by two points, 72-70, early in the fourth quarter. That's when Carmelo Anthony got hot and scored 14 of Team USA's next 18 points to help open an 88-80 lead.
