Riding 27 points from Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat) and 20 from Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers), the 2008 U.S. Men's Olympic Team (8-0) dethroned reigning FIBA World Champion Spain (6-2) in a fight-to-the-finish 118-107 victory that earned it the gold medal and the USA's eighth consecutive double-digit win Sunday afternoon at Wukesong Arena in Beijing, China.
In addition to Wade and Bryant, LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) tallied 14 points and Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets) and Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets) each scored 13 points to round out the USA's double-digit scorers.
