For a while there during their semifinal game, it seemed like the U.S. Men’s Basketball team might end their Olympic gold medal streak and fall to Serbia at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Thanks in part to Steph Curry’s 36 points during the game and a late point surge, the men came from behind to defeat the Serbs 95-91, earning a spot in the gold medal game on Saturday.
