SAITAMA -- Humbled by defeat to Greece on Friday, Team USA responded with a character-building win over Argentina in the FIBA World Championship third-place game.
The final score -- 96-81 -- was less important than the act of winning on Saturday night at Saitama Super Arena.
U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski had talked about his short time at the helm as a process that'll take time. He noted that the Greeks have built a program for years, from the youth levels to the senior national team.
