3:55 still to play before half. Argentina finally broke the run with


a bucket at 1:59, but the red, white and blue capped the first half with a 6-0 spurt for a dominating 43-15 halftime lead. If there was any hope left for


Argentina, it was quickly quashed early in the third. With the USA leading on the scoreboard 46-19, the U.S. added 11 unanswered points, seven from Jackson, to put the game well out of reach, 57-19, with 6:05 to play in the third. The Americans cruised through the


remainder of the contest, going up by as many as 48 points, 94-46, to earn gold. Notching 28 points off of 22


turnovers, 12 of which were outright steals, the USA got 46 points in the paint and outscored Argentina 26-8 on the fast break and 43-9 off the bench. Further, the USA held a 61-42 rebounding

advantage and dished out 22 assists. “(Winning the gold medal) meant a


lot,” said Rabb. “It meant that all the hard work that we put in during the off- season and during the school year and during out camp, it finally paid off and we got a gold medal, which was the plan from the start.” The U.S. closed the game shooting


71.0 percent (22-31 FTs) from the chari- ty stripe, its best game at the line by far, while making 44.0 percent (33-75 FGs) from the field and 30.0 percent (6-20 3pt FGs) from 3-point. The U.S. limited Argentina to an icy 24.4 percent (19-78 FGs) from the field and 14.8 percent (4-27 3pt FGs) from beyond the arc. “Being here, you develop friend-


ships for a lifetime,” added Jackson. “These dudes are like my brothers now. Anytime I see them, I’d do anything for them and I’m pretty sure they’d do anything for me.”
