The first team the U.S. men's Basketball team faced in the 2008 Olympics was China. This opening game took place on August 10, 2008, and was notable for being a highly anticipated matchup, especially as it featured NBA star Yao Ming representing China. The U.S. team, known as the "Redeem Team," won the game convincingly, setting the tone for their successful tournament.
The United States defeated Spain in the finals, 118-107, to win the gold medal in men's basketball.
