This matchup could be a preview of the gold-medal game, as the two teams are heavy favorites to win the tournament. In fact, they squared off in the 2008 gold-medal game in Beijing. The Americans pulled away and won 117-108 to take home the gold.
While the U.S. team is full of NBA superstars, the Spain team is also loaded with talent and has played together longer than America’s finest, who have only practiced together since early July.
