Olympic basketball champions USA escape South Sudan scalp with slim 101-100 win after LeBron James’s last minute dunk
South Sudan led by 16 late in the first half – 58-42 – before the Americans got the last basket to cut the deficit to 14 at the break. But the 18-0 run was key. James had four assists during the spurt and Curry, from about 35 feet, connected on a 3-pointer late in the third that gave the US its first lead since the first quarter at 79-76.
