*asplode*
*Yawn*
7-6 Spain, LeBron just got his second foul...oooh, Carmelo.
The fuck is a Jimenez?

Kobe fouls on a three-point play. Juan Carlos with three free throws and two fouls for Kobe in like five minutes.
Wade...Rubio! 15-11.
Felipe and Ricky try to steal it, but knock each other out of play doing so.
Count the basket for Wade. Jimenez looks like Big Z's smaller little brother.
Felipe to Pau.
