The United States men’s basketball team won their fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal, defeating France 98-87 in the final game. Stephen Curry led the team with 24 points, including eight three-pointers, while Devin Booker and Kevin Durant added 15 points each. Team USA lost the FIBA World Cup last year and returned home without any medals. As such, the Olympic team hoped to rectify the mistakes.

All throughout the tournament, they faced tough challenges in the form of Serbia and France. It took Curry’s phenomenal performance to win the gold. France put up a strong fight, led by Victor Wembanyama’s 26 points, but ultimately fell short. The Americans’ lead was narrowed to three points with just under three minutes left, but Chef Curry’s back-to-back three-pointers sealed the win.

Wembanyama cried after losing the gold medal match at the Paris Olympics. Losing in front of the home nation is not so easily forgotten. He is young and will have the chance to win gold in the coming years. Curry’s impressive performance, including four three-pointers in the final three minutes, was the difference-maker in the game.

Curry’s celebration, known as the “night night” gesture, was a fitting end to his impressive Olympic debut.
