Sunday's Games: Gold Medal Game and Bronze Medal Game

RIO DE JANEIRO (Rio 2016 Olympic Games) - Here are the Gold Medal Game and Bronze Medal Game of the Olympic Basketball Tournament to look forward to on Sunday at Carioca Arena 1.

Serbia v USA

The USA have familiar foes Serbia standing in their way as they try to make one final step and claim a third straight Olympic gold medal. The Americans brushed Serbia aside in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup Final but in Group A, they only scraped a 94-91 victory. The United States had to grind out an 82-76 triumph over Spain to reach the Final while Serbia blew out Australia, 87-61.

Australia v Spain

It's going to be better to leave an Olympics with a medal, even if it's not the one that neither side wanted before the Rio de Janeiro Games. Spain have reached the podium at the last two Summer Games, finishing runners-up to the USA. The Boomers, still searcing for a first-ever medal at an Olympics or FIBA Basketball World Cup, need to pick themselves up after a heavy defeat to Serbia.
