The biggest and final test for this year's version of the Dream Team was Spain and the game remained tight throughout but the Americans pulled away late to win 107-100.
Team USA only lead by one at the half and took the lead for good late in the third quarter with a three from Kevin Durant to put them up 83-80. Durant would lead all scorers with 30.
There were number of clutch performers in the final quarter including Chris Paul who scored 8 of his 11 points in crunch time.
LeBron James finished with 19 points and became the first player since Michael Jordan in 1992 to accomplish a rare basketball grand slam; Olympic gold, NBA Championship and regular season and finals MVP awards, all in one year. The U.S. repeats as Olympic gold medalist.
