Dream Team Beaten by Argentina 89-81
The U.S. men's basketball team will go home from the Olympics without a gold medal for the first time since it began using NBA players after the Americans were beaten soundly by Argentina 89-81 in the semifinals Friday.
Tim Duncan fouled out with five minutes left and the Americans trailing 76-65, just one of the many frustrating moments for the U.S. team against the scrappy Argentines.
It's the same team that beat the United States in the 2002 World Championships, although the only U.S. player on that team to make the trip to Athens was Shawn Marion.
Argentina moves on to play for the gold medal against either Lithuania or Italy. The second semifinal begins at 3:15 p.m. EDT.
