With four minutes left and the US up by (only) eight, I'm gonna call it for the US. Spain brought it to within 2 points a few minutes ago, but the US is back well on top a little bit. They still have to lock it down, but I think they'll do it.
Spain is DAMN good though, and it is not unlikely that by the time I am finished writing here the game will be over.
Earlier, I heard said of Kobe one more thing that makes him "kinda" a jerk. Apparently, Kobe said that the opening ceremony was the first time in his life he got goose bumps. I don't know whether to feel sorry for him or jealous.
No matter, he is AWESOME at basketball and just saved the US's ass by scoring mad points towards the end of the game.
USA! USA!
Two and a half remains. FOUR POINT GAME!!! "Spain keeps climbing back!"
Dwayne Wade hits a three: SEVEN POINTS!!
The refs seem to really want to see Spain compete, if not win. But the US is still kickin it. EIGHT POINTS. One minute remains! US ball.
Spain has started fouling. But if the US hits their free throws, they win the Gold!
Chris Paul drains two free throws to make himsefl 8/8 in the game. Ten point game!
Spain scores, back to eight. 32.9 left. This game is totally over.
26 seconds. Chris Paul back at the line, and what do you know, TECHNICAL FOUL against Spain. Muchas gracias, chumpos.
US WINS GOLD!!!
Coach K not thrilled by Kobe pouring water on his head.
