RIO DE JANEIRO GAMES (Rio 2016 Olympic Games) - Spain's 92-73 triumph over Argentina on Monday night prevented Brazil from progressing to the Quarter-Finals.

The Brazilians went out of the competition with just two wins - one of them over Spain. But the basketball gods did not smile on Ruben Magnano's team, which had won 86-69 earlier in the day over Nigeria to keep their hopes alive.

Brazil's exit means that for the second straight Olympics, the hosts did not make it to the Quarter-Finals. Great Britain blew a big lead against Australia and ended up missing out on the last eight four years ago.
