United States loses Olympic basketball showdown in 1972
In the 1972 Olympic final the U S men lose 51 50 to the Soviet Union after a controversial ending. William Jones urged a replay of the final three seconds, the Soviets score on a last second basket, and the U S protests fail. The team later refuses the silver medal. Also notes Chris Evert wins the U S Open for a third straight year in 1977 and a 1998 NBA work stoppage cancels a Tel Aviv exhibition.
