In the penultimate basketball game at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Spain captured the bronze medal with an 89-88victory over Australia.
The Australians had a chance to win at the end, but excellent defense by Spain prevented them from ever getting a final shot off. The Olympic heartbreak continues for Australia, which has never won a medal in men's basketball.
Spain, on the other hand, continues to be one of the most consistent forces in men's basketball. This win marks the country's third straight medal in the Olympics.

Since 1988, only Team USA has beaten Spain in the knockout stage at the Olympics.
