The United States and Argentina renew their rivalry when they take on each other in the London Olympics men's basketball semifinal on Friday.

The two teams played each other in the group stage with the Americans walloping the Argentinians 126-97. The game, however, was close in the first half and only a huge third quarter allowed the Americans to pull away. 

In the quarterfinal, Team USA booted out Australia 119-86. The Americans maintained a comfortable cushion before breaking the game apart in the fourth quarter. Kobe Bryant led the way with 20 points while Deron Williams added 18. Carmelo Anthony chipped in 17 while LeBron James tallied a triple double 11 points, 14 boards and 11 assists. 

Argentina, meanwhile, survived a late surge by Brazil to eliminate their South American rivals 82-77. Luis Scola led Argentina with 17 points while Carlos Delfino and Emanuel Ginobili added 16 apiece. 

The Argentines are seeking a return trip to the championship game since 2004 when they won the gold at the expense of Italy 84-69.
