USA BEATS AUSSIES, ON TO THE SEMIS

Kobe Bryant has his best game of the olympics by scoring 25 points as Team USA advanced to the semifinals by beating Australia 116-85 this morning. The United States will play defending champion Argentina on Friday night for a spot in Sunday's gold medal game. Argentina beat the U.S. in the semifinals of the 2004 Olympics. LeBron James was a beast and added 16 points. They need two more wins for their first gold medal in a major international competition since the 2000 Sydney Games.
