Argentina secured an electrifying 111-107 double-overtime victory over rival Brazil in a men's basketball game for the ages at the 2016 Summer Olympics on Saturday.

Veteran forward Andres Nocioni turned back the clock to lead the charge for Argentina, with 37 points and 11 rebounds while playing more than 47 minutes. Facundo Campazzo also shined for the winning side, with 33 points and 11 points.

Meanwhile, it's a significant blow for the host nation, which sits on the brink of elimination heading into the final Group B games. Nene had 24 points and 11 boards for Brazil and the team had six different players reach double figures in scoring, but it wasn't enough in the end.
