Brazil and Spain will each look to avenge an early Olympics loss when the men's basketball squads collide on Tuesday.
Despite a ferocious late rally, Brazil fell short to Lithuania in Sunday's opening preliminary matchup. Later that day, Spain watched a comfortable lead dwindle against Croatia, who stole a 71-70 nail-biter.
Behind NBA stalwart Pau Gasol, Spain entered Rio de Janeiro a top candidate to spawn a third straight gold-medal matchup against Team USA. An ageing Brazil team, however, is no longer a safe bet to advance past Group B, a six-team bracket that four teams will survive.
