BARCELONA, Spain -- James Harden and the U.S. sprinted into the championship game of the Basketball World Cup, riding a huge third quarter to a 96-68 victory over Lithuania on Thursday night.Usa Basketball's semifinal romp over Lithuania ended with a bit of scrapping. Klay Thompson got involved with a few Lithuania players, his teammates joined him, then a snarling Mike Krzyzewski stepped in to put an end to it all.The fight likely sparked from Lithuania’s Jonas Valanciunas elbowing DeMarcus Cousins.It's not clear what started the fight or who was in the middle of it. Tempers had flared up a bit during the game when Team USA's DeMarcus Cousins nearly threw a punch at Lithuania's Jonas Valanciunas after taking an elbow to the throat near the end of the first half.The postgame skirmish appeared to come out of nowhere, but Coach K was quick to get in the middle of things and make sure things didn't turn ugly.
