Paris 2024: France beat Belgium to set up USA doubleheader
The Paris 2024 Men's and Women's Olympic basketball final will feature France and the USA.
USA makes history against France
The French team put the Americans to the test several times, and the large pro-French audience at Bercy Arena made this victory less easy than it usually is for this team.
)
The United States looked unable to establish any offensive rhythm against a very muscular French defense in the first half of the game, which was terribly fragmented.
Just before the half, France had a small lead of 25–23, but the United States rallied and tied the game just before the buzzer, resulting in a 25–25 draw at the break.
The United States trailed by as much as 10 points at one point and did not score until more than three minutes into the quarter when play began.
)
In the fourth quarter, guard Jackie Young fouled out. Young has been a vital scorer for the US team in the quarterfinals and semifinals.
It was France's first time competing in the gold medal basketball game at the Olympics since the London 2012 Games, when the United States defeated France by a score of 36 points.
Following their defeat on Sunday, Australia won bronze by defeating Belgium in the third-place match, while France took home the silver medal.
)
With both the men's and women's basketball teams competing against host France for gold medals, it was a major basketball weekend for the United States.
The American men's team defeated France 98-87 the day before to capture their sixth consecutive Olympic gold medal.
