Argentina sweep Croatia, Serbia and France

CORDOBA (Rio 2016 Olympic Games) - The mood in the Argentina team is very upbeat just several days before the start of the Olympics following wins over Croatia, Serbia and France in their last three warm-up games.

The hosts beat all three winners of the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (OQTs) and got important contributions from players that must perform well in Rio de Janeiro for the team to have a shot at reaching the podium.

Sergio Hernandez's squad thumped Croatia, 97-78, and then edged Serbia, 79-74, before wrapping up the Super 4 sweep with an 86-79 triumph over France.

"We have to keep our feet on the ground." - Manu Ginobili

Carlos Delfino, who has come back from a long injury lay-off and made the Olympic roster, followed up a 20-point performance against Serbia with a 15-point effort against the French.

After hurting the Serbians with his 3-point shooting, connecting on 5 of 8 attempts, Delfino buried 5 of 6 against the French.

Manu Ginobili also had 15 points against Les Bleus and Nicolas Laprovittola weighed in with 13.

"We have to keep our feet on the ground," Ginobili said. "We played solid, with the veterans at a good level and the young ones playing well, plus the return of Cabeza (Delfino), I have no words because you see him and it's just exciting."

The French team fell for a third consecutive time after defeats to Serbia (105-88), and to Croatia (76-70).

Serbia won their game against Croatia on Monday, 86-77.
