U.S. Men Win Hoops Gold

Vince Carter put an end to France's rally.

It wasn't convincing, but the U.S. men's basketball team still got the gold. France got within four in the last four minutes, but the Americans pulled out a 85-75 victory to win their third straight gold Sunday (Saturday, U.S. time). Vince Carter sealed it with two signature dunks in the last 1:35 of the game.
