The United States Dream Team of NBA stars captured their second Olympic men's basketball gold medal in a row and the 14th overall for America by beating Spain 107-100 in Sunday's final. The US multi-millionaire line-up of NBA elite claimed their fifth crown in the past six Olympics, improving to 62-1 since revamping the national team program after settling for bronze in 2004.
The Americans ran through the tournament undefeated just as they did in 2008 when they defeated Spain 118-107 in the Beijing final. The latest roster had five gold winners from Beijing and five from the US 2010 world champions.
