ATHENS, Greece - Larry Brown was right. The Americans did eventually start hitting their jump shots.

Stephon Marbury set a U.S. Olympic record with 31 points, and the team that spent the first week and a half of the Athens Games missing jumpers finally found its range in a 102-94 victory against Spain in the quarterfinals Thursday.

Marbury broke the U.S. men's record of 30 points shared by Charles Barkley (1992 vs. Brazil) and Adrian Dantley (1976 vs. Yugoslavia).

As the teams left the court, Brown and Spanish coach Mario Pesquera were pointing angrily at each other and had to be separated by their assistants.

Allen Iverson added 16 points, Carlos Boozer had 12 and Lamar Odom 11 for the Americans, who got only nine points from foul-plagued center Tim Duncan.

Pau Gasol led Spain with 29 points but was held to just four in the fourth quarter by a tenacious American defensive effort.


US beats Spain behind Marbury
