Team Argentina had the Safe Game Plan go 1-2-2 Extended, close down the Lane, Stop USA in Transition, let Manu be the Facilitator, and look for Scola rolling to the Cup or Delfino for the Money ball. All that for a 47-40 Team USA lead at the Break.

Then Team USA goes +10 in the 3rd Frame behind better Defense on Argentina's Shooters and they start to get in the Passing Lanes for Easy Transition Baskets. In the 4th Frame they forced Argentina to play more at Team USA's Pace and then then Bully came out.

MSG 5th Avenue's Carmelo Anthony went past a Heat Check into a Zone so hot he would have made Air Jordan proud. As Team USA goes for the Kill..."Running with the BULLY in London" is unveiled and the Argentinians had no Shot. 'Melo hit 4 Money Balls in a Row first from London, then from Manchester, then Glasgow Scotland, and the Final Money Ball was from London Hethrow's Runway 9N7R...going West over the Big Pond.

The Game was Won on the Arc with the US +21, on the Glass +10, with the Lake Oswego Monster Kevin Love doing the Damage, and Team USA shot a 'Melo 9 Hot 64% from the Field for the Game.

The Durantula, who had his Own Stretch, led Team USA with a Game-High 19 with King James and 'Melo with 18, and the Black Mamba with 13. Team Argentina was led by Manu's 18 and Scola and Delfino each had 15 Points.

Team USA now plays in the Gold Medal match on August 12 vs the Spaniards and Argentina will get a feisty Russian Team looking for at least a Bronze.

Bronze Medal game at 5AM CT Sunday and the Gold Medal Game at 9AM ET Sunday.
