LeBron James comes up clutch as USA rally to beat Germany
In their final showcase in London, the USA beat Germany 92-88 thanks to some clutch plays from LeBron James.
Not only is the 35-year-old fit, but he also played perhaps his best half of basketball in the world, so he took those question marks and raised them up to become exclamation points.
USA 110-84 Serbia

Kevin Durant's first eight minutes and forty-nine seconds on the court demonstrated that he is ready for the possibility of being the first male athlete in Olympic history to win four gold medals in basketball.
Serbia attempted every tactic possible, including zoning, switching, aiding, and placing a bigger player like Filip Petrusev on top of a lesser player like Vanja Marinkovic, but to no avail.
There was discussion about whether Durant's 21-point first-half outburst against Nigeria in 2012—when he made all eight of his field goals, including five of his five three-pointers—was the greatest scoring outburst in Olympic basketball history.

After missing his first shot with eight minutes remaining in the game, Durant finished with 23 points in the game and only added two free throws after the half.
LeBron James celebrated his Olympic comeback with 21 points, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds in just 27 minutes of play.
In Group C, South Sudan got Africa's first win at the Olympics against Puerto Rico.
