Steph Curry knocked down eight threes, including three at the end of the fourth quarter, to lead the United States men's basketball team to a gold-medal game victory over France.
Curry produced 24 points to lead the Americans to a 98-87 victory and their fifth consecutive gold medal at the Summer Olympics.
LeBron James chipped in 14 points, while Kevin Durant and Devin Booker each scored 15 points in the win, but it was Curry's show as the game reached its conclusion.
France hung around thanks to 26 points out of Victor Wembanyama, but it could not contain Curry and the Team USA offense, which shot 18-for-36 from three-point range.
Box Score
France: 15 Q1 / 26 Q2 / 25 Q3 / 21 Q4 / 87 TOT
United States 20 Q1 / 29 Q2 / 23 Q3 / 26 Q4 / 98 TOT
