It all came down to one shot.After 39 minutes and 55 seconds of intense basketball, it was going to come down to one shot, a three pointer for the win by Vasileos Spanoulis, one of Greece's best players.
Fortunately for Argentina, it was a little long and a little to the right, preserving the Argentinean 2point lead and giving the South Americans their own crack at the Redeem Team.
It was, as predicted, the best basketball game in the Olympics yet. Here are some numbers:
15 - number of lead changes.
5 - biggest Greek lead
7 - biggest Argentinean lead
23 - Manu Ginobili's points
6 - Manu's three pointers
22 - Carlos Delfino's points
5 - Carlos Delfino's three pointers
17 and 10 - Antonios Fotsis' points and rebounds
9 and 7 - Vasileos Spanoulis' points and rebounds
0 (for 2) - Spanoulis' made three pointers before he took the final three pointer.
