USA Takes Gold at FIBA Americas 2007
The U.S. team never took its foot off the gas pedal, dominating a tough Argentina squad for the second time in four days to take home the gold medal at the 2007 FIBA Americas Championship on Sunday. The 118-81 triumph was never in question thanks to 31 points from LeBron James, who shot an impressive 11-for-15 from the field, including a sparkling 8-for-11 from behind the arc. Dwight Howard hit all seven of his shot attempts en route to 20 points, and Carmelo Anthony wrapped added 16. MVP Luis Scola, who also made Jeff Dengate's All-Tournament Team, led Argentina with 23. Both teams had already secured spots in the 2008 Olympics on Saturday.
