In a thrilling semifinal match at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Team USA's men's basketball team secured a spot in the gold medal game after a dramatic comeback victory over Serbia, winning 95-91. Despite trailing by 17 points at one stage, the Americans rallied in the fourth quarter, led by Stephen Curry's outstanding performance, scoring 36 points, including nine three-pointers. LeBron James contributed a triple-double with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Joel Embiid added 19 points on 8-11 field goal shooting. The victory sets up a gold medal showdown against France, who previously defeated Germany 73-69 in their semifinal match. The USA's win denied Serbia, who had been leading 54-43 at halftime, a place in the final. The gold medal game will be a rematch of the Tokyo 2020 final between the USA and France.
