USA 69, Spain 61
Remember, it's only a 40-minute game in the Olympics, so the combined 130 points in the first half came in only 20 minutes.
This was definitely the most entertaining half of USA basketball I've witnessed in this tournament, in the eighth game. Kind of makes up for missing the thrilling U.S. men's volleyball gold medal victory over Brazil (aptly being covered by Michael Lewis), but not quite.
jazz guard Deron Williams has two points for the Americans. His recent three-point attempt was one of the few misses for his team, which was shooting nearly 70 percent for most of the half.
Other teams have been reasonably close to the USA at halftime in Beijing, so the third quarter will be critical, in terms of whether we can expect a competitive game all the way to the end.
