Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant were on the same court on Saturday, although neither of team were donning an LA Lakers jersey. The two met as Spain battled Team USA in Olympics basketball. The United States gave the Spanish team a major beating, winning by 119-82 and asserting its dominance after falling into a mediocre third place in the 2004 Olympics. The team now has a 4-0 record, and have four more games to play. Whether the Dream Team will continue to rise to the top remains to be seen, but it is wonderful to see it begin to regain some of its former glory. It has won by huge margins in its previous games. Team USA bombarded Spain a variety of shots and including an impressive 12 for 25 touch from beyond the arc. It also displayed tight defense, preventing Spain star player Pau Gasol from scoring a single point in the first quarter and forcing him to commit three turnovers. The sound of that is so sweet you'd think you were back to the good ol' days of the Dream Team.
