Team USA dominated Spain 119-82 in pool play and are favored by 21.5 points in the Gold Medal matchup. Spain will be without injured point guard and misrememberer of the english language Jose Calderon. So if Team USA can keep up the defensive pressure and continue to knock down their shots when Spain goes zone, then I have no doubt that they will cover the spread and bring back the Gold medal.Good job NBC to finally realize that the entire country should get to watch the Redeem Team "reach" for the Gold medal against Spain. As you can see, Chris Bosh is already digging deep for the Gold.
