Description

A true battle between basketball powerhouses: The arguably best group of players in the world and, on the other side, the most successful European national team this century. While Team USA was rightfully considered the heavy favorite in the game, Spain put up a big fight by countering fire with fire: Through its offense. While Kevin Durant (30 points) was making buckets, Pau Gasol (24 points) led the efforts of the Spanish side in a clash to remember. In the end, the USA defended its title and won its second consecutive gold medal.
