There are victories, and there are victories over your historic rivals in their own backyard in the Olympic Games with you scoring 37 points.

In the game of the men’s basketball tournament so far, Argentina overcame Brazil 111-107 in double overtime which left the hosts’ chances of advancing beyond the group stage near-impossible.

Chief offensive weapon was veteran Nocioni, who NBA fans may recall starred for the Chicago Bulls around 10 years ago.

At 37, he’s still got it with some dead-eye shooting including a clutch 3-pointer with three seconds remaining which bounced all over the rim before dropping and sending the game into overtime. Magical.
