Day 2 done.

 Day two finished. Couple of surprises. France handed the United States men's basketball team their first loss since the 2004 Athens Olympics with a 83-76 win. 25 straight wins since last loss in the semis in 2004 for the U.S.  Another surprise was Tunisia winning their second ever gold in the pool, courtesy of Ahmed Hafnaoui.  Canada finished the day with two medals, both silvers. China leads the medal haul with 11 medals (6g, 1s, 4b), followed by the United States with 10 medals (4g, 2s, 4b).
