Lebron James and Kobe Bryant got an early foul trouble in the opening quarter sending them to the bench, the USA basketball team clearly in trouble losing both their offensive weapons, but Dwayne Wade and Chris Paul came to the rescue they came out and played and took the lead back to the USA basketball team, but the Spain Basketball Team didn't back down they come back strong and kept the Americans uneasy at some point in the final quarter I'd thought the USA basketball team's going to lose because Spain's defUSA Spain Basketball goldense was great, they play half court defense and not allowing the Americans to make a fast break (which was their bread and butter in offense in this whole series) and they also shoot the ball well, but luckily the reigning NBA MVP Kobe Bryant found his stroke in the final period and help his basketball team finish the crucial period, scoring 13 of his 20 points and dishing out two of his six assists in the fourth.
