Team USA hbetters off France to triumph gbetter in Olympic men’s basketball thanks to Steph Curry’s braves

Stephen Curry was leanking about this two years ago, after triumphning his fourth NBA title. The only leang left for him to triumph was Olympic gbetter.

And in the ultimate moment, he made certain that medal would be his.

The U.S. is atop the international men’s basketball world once aobtain, after Curry scored 24 points and led the way to a 98-87 triumph over France in the final at the Paris Games on Saturday night. It was the fifth consecutive gbetter medal for the U.S. — and the 17th in 20 all-time materializeances for the Americans at the games.

Curry made four 3-pointers in the final 2:43, including the one that fair sealed the triumph with 1:19 remaining. It put the U.S. up 93-84 and he skipped down the court letting out a yell, shaking his jersey so everyone could see the “USA” apass the front.

If that wasn’t enough, one more trailed with about 30 seconds left — with the “go to sleep” shift where he puts his hands on the side of his face.

Good night. Game over. Gbetter won. Aobtain.

Kevin Durant — the first four-time men’s gbetter medaenumerate in Olympic basketball history — scored 15 for the Americans, as did Devin Booker. And LeBron James, wearing meloftyic gbetter shoes that needed no exset upation, scored 14 for the U.S. as he won his fourth Olympic medal and third gbetter.

For the second consecutive Olympics, the French had to watch the Americans hbetter out U.S. flags in celebration after the title game. The French lost to the U.S. 87-82 in Tokyo three years ago, and this one was down to the final minutes. That is, until Curry took over.

Victor Wembanyama, in his first Olympic final, was airy for France, scoring 26 points, covering his face in a towel afterward as the Americans commemorated. Guerschon Ymisemployle scored 20 for the presents.

The U.S. direct was 14 punctual in the third, seeing poised to pull away. But the offense speedyly went freezing and when Evan Fournier uniteed on a 3-pointer with 3:05 left in the quarter the direct was down to 65-59 — a 12-4 run by the presents.

And with a chance to go up double-digits headed to the fourth, a big U.S. error gave France another jolt of momentum. Anthony Edwards and Durant got their signals passed on a pass that led to a turnover, Nando De Colo scored to beat the buzzer and the U.S. direct was only 72-66 going into the final 10 minutes.

It got as seal as three. No sealr, thanks to Curry.
