ESPN.com First the 58-game winning streak ended, and now, the United States will not even medal despite its legion of NBA players at the World Championships in Indianapolis. That's because Yugoslavia overcame a 10-point deficit to beat Team USA 81-78 on Thursday night. The U.S. now must qualify for the Olympics.
