RIO DE JANEIRO -- Three wins from gold, and still no reason to think it will be easy for the U.S. mens basketball team.Klay Thompson ended an Olympic-long slump with seven 3-pointers and 30 points, and the Americans needed almost all of them to hold off France 100-97 on Sunday.The U.S. won its 50th straight tournament game, but the last three have been nothing like most of the previous 47.Winning by three for the second consecutive game, the U.S. improved to 5-0 and clinched first place in Group A. The Americans open quarterfinal play Wednesday, still the favorite but looking as beatable as ever under Mike Krzyzewski.Their opponents wont be determined until the completion of play Monday in the log-jammed Group B, where all six teams are still alive. The U.S. will play whichever team finishes fourth.This isnt a tournament that were going to just dominate, U.S. guard Paul George said. Theres talent around this world and theyre showcasing it. For us, its just figuring out how were going to win. Were having spurts of dominating, but were just not finding ways to put a full 40 minutes together.Nando de Colo and Thomas Heurtel each scored 18 points, carrying France while Tony Parker sat with a toe injury.Kevin Durant scored 17 points after he took just four shots in the previous game, the Americans 94-91 victory over Serbia on Friday.After pounding China and Venezuela to open the Olympics, the Americans pulled away late to beat Australia 98-88 before edging the Serbs when Bogdan Bogdanovic missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.The Americans could never put away the French in this one, even with Thompson finally having his first good performance in Rio de Janeiro.Banished to the bench earlier in the tournament, he rejoined the starting lineup Sunday and came out firing -- and this time, making his shots. He had come into the game with just 11 points on 4-for-26 shooting in the first four games.He hit five 3-pointers in the third quarter alone Sunday, the last making the lead seem safe at 78-62. But the French were back within four midway through the fourth.All that came without Parker, the four-time NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs who had been limited to about 20-25 minutes per game here as he gets back into game shape after missing time during their training when his wife gave birth to their second son last month.This time he didnt play at all, with the French federation saying during the game he injured his toe in their previous victory over Venezuela.Parker sat on the bench with his teammates in the first half but then didnt return when they came back from the locker room at halftime, finally emerging with a little under three minutes left in the third quarter.Hes fine. Hes resting, said French coach Vincent Collet, who also sat de Colo in the final minutes after he hurt his leg.Parker was hardly missed because de Colo and Heurtel kept carving up a U.S. defense that was expected to be the teams strength but has been vulnerable against crafty international offenses.Luckily for the Americans, this time they could count on offense from Thompson to get them through.

Not for the first time this season, the Clarets find themselves playing after their promotion rivals, with Boro travelling to Birmingham on Friday and Brighton hosting derby on Monday afternoon.Burnley could find themselves as low as third by the time they entertain Jimmy Floyd Hasselbainks side, but, having played catch-up for the majority of the season, Dyche was adamant his sides approach would remain unchanged. Weve made a good show of looking after ourselves and not really overthinking everyone else, he added. That has been an important factor of what weve so far and we can continue to do so.I explain to the team all the time with clarity what we need to focus on and thats the next performance so its for other people to debate the ins and outs. Its been slightly different for us because weve come from quite a considerable distance behind - on Boxing Day we were eight points and a game in hand behind the teams above us.Weve come a long way over those games to be where we are and the others have been setting the pace most of the season. Whatever the thoughts on the top of the table, and the points situation, are we just want to get the points that are needed and let everyone else worry about themselves.Our focus is on us performing and weve shown great signs of that, whether that be when we played first or last weve kept our eye on what we need to do and delivered the performances that have allowed us to do what we are doing. That is the focus. Also See: FL72 Podcast Fixtures Table Championship video he points that are needed and let everys[/url] Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
