For all the talk of the trouble with Team USA it comes down to this: One more win and they get gold.
The USA played their best game of the Rio Olympics — finally showing some grit and more steady defense — in beating Spain 82-76 to advance to Sunday’s Gold Medal game.
You can see the key to the USA’s win in these highlights below: Klay Thompson was draining threes (22 points 4-of-8 from deep) and DeAndre Jordan just flat out owned the paint on both ends.
One step closer to gold!#USA tops Spain to advance to the championship game on Sunday. https://t.co/5qbXjgsAm1. https://t.co/0RgrKNPYQn
