2008 Olympic Basketball Day Three: Inside the Box Score
Spain/Germany: Unlike the US the Spanish have messed around with their starting 5 to so far. This was evident in their opener when Marc Gasol got the nod over his older brother and yesterday when Jose Calderon came off the bench. In this one the Spanish were determined to not let Dirk Nowitzki...
