A hard-fought victory over Spain
The United States men's national basketball team has once again proven their dominance on the global stage, capturing the gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. This victory marks back-to-back gold medals for Team USA, as they successfully defended their title from the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The gold medal game was a thrilling contest against Spain, one of the top-ranked teams in the world.
