Sunday, July 18 United States 83, Spain Sunday, Aug. Tuesday, Aug. Thursday, Aug. It means a berth in Saturday's gold-medal game as the Americans will go for their fourth in a row. In order to claim the gold medal, the U. Australia had prepared for this game for a long time and came out with a smart game plan, crisp execution and tight focus. The Australians showed Team USA some defensive looks they'd clearly saved, unveiling double teams and speed rotations that got the Americans on their heels.
This game meant everything for the Boomers, who were in their fifth Olympic semifinals and looking for their first win. They have seven players with NBA experience, led by Patty Mills , one of the greatest scorers in Olympics history, playing in a game that would have earned them respect among their peers and their countrymen for the rest of their lives.
With that as the backdrop, they played like it and methodically built that point first-half lead. This was a calling card for Team USA, which tends to start games with choppy execution and poor shooting. It was dangerous to dig a hole under these circumstances but, bottom line, the Americans had Durant, who had 23 points and wasn't needed in the fourth quarter, and the Aussies didn't.
With the offense sputtering and the 3-point shooting -- the heart of Team USA's offense that was absent as they missed their first 10 3s -- totally failing, Durant put his head down and went to work. He grinded his way to seven first-half baskets.
Holiday was his partner, putting together six first-half assists while being the lead defender on Mills. The U. This was a vital moment, especially because the Americans have shown an ability to be a great third-quarter team. When the second half started, Durant and Holiday took the game into their own hands.
