USA BEATS ARGENTINA, GOLD MEDAL GAME NEXT!

Team USA ended their streak of final four flops and Argentina's hopes of an Olympic gold-medal repeat with 101-81 semifinal victory today. Argentina star Manu Ginobili reinjured his left ankle and wasn't a factor! Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points and Lebron James added 15 points with 13 in the second half. Luis Scola scored 28 points for Argentina, which didn't relinquish its title without a fight. Even without Ginobili for most of the game, the Argentines cut a 21-point lead into single digits and frustrated the Americans with their physical play, but they didn't have enough depth or firepower without their best player. Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul all had 12 points for the Americans. USA vs Spain in the Gold Medal Final on sunday!
