Another scare: US men’s basketball team edges Serbia 94-91 (Yahoo Sports)

Written in Portuguese on one wall above center court at Carioca Arena is the phrase ”Um mundo novo.” Translation: A new world. Threatened by Australia in its previous game, the U.S. men’s team started fast but had to survive a heart-racing final seconds to beat Serbia 94-91 on Friday, the 49th consecutive international tournament win for the Americans. This one, though, took everything the U.S. team had.
