Right where the U.S. men's Olympic basketball team always expected to be, in the gold medal game, against the opponent it figured to see again. ''Anything less than this would have been unsatisfy- ing for us,'' Carmelo Anthony said. ''We believe that we could get here, and we're here now. We got one game left.'' Kevin Durant scored 19 points, James and Anthony added 18 apiece, and the U.S. turned on its slam- ming-and-shooting specta- cle in the second half to overwhelm Argentina for the second time in three games, 109-83, in the semifinals Friday night. The U.S. will play Spain on Sunday, a rematch of the Americans' victory four years ago for the gold medal in Beijing. ''I think it's only right,'' James said. ''Everyone said that this is the game they wanted to see. We look forward to it. We're happy as a team we're able to be back in this position. We've got to defend, we've got to rebound, we've got to share the ball.'' said they believe this team is better than the '08 squad, and they are certainly more potent — with a chance to end up outscoring he origi- nal Dream Team in 1992. ''You have three scorers on this team who get blis- tering hot if they make two shots in a row,'' Kobe Bryant said. ''I've never seen anything like it.'' In the third straight Olympic semifinal between the U.S. and Argentina, the Ameri- cans kept pulling ahead only to see the Argen- tines climb back in — until James and Durant finally put them away The Americans have 1B Weekend August 11-12, 2012 OLYMPICS Felix totes gold medals LONDON (AP) — Allyson Felix reached into her purse and pulled out a black box that she opened gingerly, revealing the Olympic gold medal from the 200 meters she worried might never be hers. Now it is. ''No one wants to just see me anymore. They want to see the medal,'' the Ameri- can sprinter said in an inter- view with The Associated Press on Friday, several hours before heading to Olympic Stadium and win- ning a second gold with a world record in the 4x100- meter relay. Felix knows exactly where her new prizes will reside once she gets back to California: her parents' home, where all her other medals are, including the two silvers from the 200 in Athens and Beijing. ''They like to brag,'' Felix said, chuckling and rolling her eyes. ''And when people come over, (the medals) somehow fall into their laps. They have fun with that stuff.''

Argentina hung around until early in the second half, just as it did Monday in the final game of pool play. And just like that night, the Americans hit them with a wave dunks and 3-pointers in the third quarter that turned it into a romp. While not quite as explosive as their 42-17 period in Monday's 126-97 win, this one had just as many high- lights. Ahead by only four NBA Howard traded to Lakers Orlando.

Durant made two 3- pointers in an 8-0 spurt that pushed the lead to 13, and when Argentina got back within eight, the NBA's MVP and runner-up teamed up to blow it open. If all goes to plan, Felix will be able to add to the col- lection at Mom and Dad's place. That's because she will get a shot at a third 2012 gold in the 4x400 relay on Saturday — and because Felix figures she has one more Summer Games in her. She's also sure she can continue to improve. What's far too soon to tell: whether she'll try a 100- 200 or 200-400 double in Rio de Janeiro four years from now. Felix thinks she can ''be in the mix'' for the 100 and has ''potential'' for the 400, too. ''I don't know which way it'll go, but the 100 is kind of where my heart is,'' said Felix, who was fifth in the dash final last Saturday.
