'Golden Generation' lose to Dream Team, go for the bronze
US guard Kobe Bryant (L) challenges Argentinian forward Andres Nocioni.
The Argentine "Golden Generation" men’s basketball team was defeated by United States' "Dream Team" by 109 to 83 in the London 2012 Olympic Games semi-finals, and will go for the bronze against Russia on Sunday.
Although Argentina was closed to the tie in several opportunities, but the Dream Team took advantage of the distance and by the third part it was heading by 74-57.
As it happened four years ago in Beijing 2008, the team coached by Julio Lamas will fight for the bronze against Russia, to give a positive closure to the Golden Generation history.
