With the semifinal round of the 2024 Paris Olympics’ men’s basketball tournament over, the final two teams are set: Team USA and France. Each of those teams are leaving Paris with a medal, the question is whether it’ll be gold or silver.
Team USA cruised through group play undefeated with the best point differential in the tournament (+64). They set a tournament high in points in their 122-87 win over Brazil in the quarterfinals. A third win over Serbia in the last six weeks, this time a comeback 95-91 win, clinched their fifth straight trip to the gold medal game.
Host France went 2-1 through group play and entered the tournament as the No. 5 seed. France beat Canada 82-73 in the quarterfinals to hand Canada its first loss of the tournament. A 73-69 win over Germany set up a rematch of the Tokyo Olympics gold medal game against Team USA.
