Olympic Basketball: USA 80 - 69 Brazil



     In Washington D.C., the USA Men's Olympic Basketball team defeated Brazil 80-69 in the last exhibition in the U.S. for the Americans.
     The United States rallied from an early 10-point deficit behind 30 points from LeBron James, an unusually high individual point total for international competition. D.C. native Kevin Durant added 11 and Chris Paul added 10. The United States-ers held the Brazilians to two baskets in the second quarter.
     President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden enjoyed the game from the stands. We will play against Britain in Manchester, England on Thursday and travel to Barcelona, Spain to take on Spain and Argentina shortly thereafter.
