RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Before going their separate ways, Tony Parker and Paul Gasol met near mid-court and the new teammates shared a warm embrace following Spain's lopsided win.
They'll soon be together in San Antonio to chase an NBA title.
They'll never meet again in the Olympics.
Nearly written off after two losses to open the Rio Games, Spain is back in the men's basketball semifinals for the third straight time following a 92-67 rout of Parker and France in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. With Spurs-like offensive precision, the Spaniards got easy looks at the basket and dissected a French team that came to Brazil with medal hopes but leaves empty-handed.
