How Team USA's turnaround began 10 years ago

LAS VEGAS -- Team USA's journey to the Olympics starts Friday when they will play Argentina in a friendly, in which they will most likely win their 64th consecutive game.

It has now been nearly 10 full years since the Americans lost a game in international competition, a winning streak that started in 2006 with a victory over Argentina in the bronze medal game of the World Championships outside Tokyo. And it has now been nearly 10 years since the lowest moment of coach Mike Krzyzewski's career when Team USA was upset by Greece the game before in the world semifinals.
