Don't cry for me Nocioni: Former Bull leads Argentina to Olympics victory

Andres Nocioni went absolutely crazy in the most entertaining Rio 2016 Olympics basketball game yet.

In a double overtime thriller, the former Chicago Bulls forward put up a game-high 37 points and 11 rebounds to lead Argentina to a 111-107 victory over Brazil.

The 36-year-old wreacked havoc from beyond the arc, scoring 24 of his 37 from deep, and activated his clutch gene at just the right times.

With three seconds left in the fourth quarter, Nocioni drilled a triple to tie the game up and force OT. He encored that with a three to pull Argentina within one in the first overtime.
