The game-changing moment came when the U.S. scored six points in just two seconds, leaving fans and players alike in awe.
“Stephen Curry scored 36 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:16 left, and the U.S. will play for gold in the Paris Olympics on Saturday night after beating Serbia 95-91,” said one analyst, emphasizing Curry’s pivotal role in the team’s success.
Facing a daunting 17-point deficit in the first half and an 11-point halftime hole, the American team showed resilience and determination in clawing their way back into the game. Serbia’s lead seemed insurmountable at times, but the U.S. refused to back down.
“It’ll be the U.S. against host France for gold on Saturday night, while Serbia will face Germany earlier Saturday for bronze,” noted another expert, highlighting the upcoming matchups for both teams.
The turning point came in the fourth quarter when Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis orchestrated a swift scoring sequence that saw the U.S. close the gap and eventually take the lead. Devin Booker’s clutch 3-pointer off an inbounds play further solidified the team’s comeback, setting the stage for Curry to seal the deal with his sharpshooting.
