ARGENTINA BEATS THE US IN BASKETBALL ...heres the story.....

ATHENS, Greece — Manu Ginobili scored 29 points to lead Argentina to another victory over the United States — the country that used to dominate men’s basketball.

The Americans lost 89-81 and will have to settle for a spot in the bronze medal game, where a rematch against Lithuania awaits. The Argentines will play Italy for the gold tonight. The Italians used 18-of-28 shooting from 3-point range to upset the previously undefeated Lithuanians 100-91 in Friday’s other semifinal.

Argentina used almost the same roster that made history in 2002 by becoming the first team to defeat a U.S. squad of NBA players.

For the first time since 1988, the gold medal will not go to the Americans. And for the first time since pro players were added for the original Dream Team in 1992, the United States will not be the Olympic champion.

The Argentines were the better passers, shooters and defenders. They confronted the Americans with a mixture of man-to-man and zone defenses, and confounded them with an assortment of back picks that turned the start of the second half into a layup drill.

Stephon Marbury led the U.S. team with 18 points, and Tim Duncan had just 10 while being limited to 191¼2 minutes because of foul trouble.

Last weekend Lithuania beat the U.S. team 94-90 in round-robin play
