A star-studded United States team showcased their resilience and skill in a dramatic comeback victory over Serbia in the Olympic men’s basketball semi-final. Trailing by 13 points in the final quarter, the team, led by NBA superstars LeBron James and Steph Curry, turned the game around to secure a 95-91 win at a vibrant Bercy Arena.
Down 76-63 after three quarters, the American team intensified their efforts in the final period, with Steph Curry leading the charge with a game-high 36 points. “To come back the way we did… I’ve seen a lot of Team USA basketball, and that was special,” Curry remarked after the game. The victory keeps alive the USA’s pursuit of a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal, continuing their dominance in the event since its introduction in 1936.
The United States will face host nation France in the gold-medal match on Saturday, setting the stage for a highly anticipated showdown. Meanwhile, Serbia, led by NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, will compete for the bronze medal against Germany earlier on the same day, hoping to secure a podium finish.
