The so-called "[[Dream Team (basketball)|Dream Team]]" overcame a poor showing against Puerto Rico to win 3 out of their five preliminary games, the last of which was a blowout win against Angola. They failed to defend their gold medal from the 2000 games in Sydney, however, losing to Argentina in the semifinals. Argentina became the first team to prevent the U.S. team with NBA players to win the gold in men's basketball.
