By Steve Keating RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The U.S. men's basketball team closed out pool play with an unbeaten record and at the top of Group A but another nervy 100-97 win over France on Sunday confirmed getting to the top of the Olympic podium will not be an easy climb. "Personally I felt we were going to dominate these games that they were going to come easy," said USA guard Paul George. "But you start playing better competition you see these teams are pretty good." After a pair of blowouts with China and Venezuela to open the Olympic tournament, the United States has received a wakeup call in the way of narrow three-point wins over France and Serbia and a battling 10 point victory against Australia.
