Stephen Curry explodes as Team USA defeats France for fifth straight Olympic gold medal
In a rematch of the Tokyo Olympics final, the opponents were the same, the stakes similar, and the result pretty much the same. Three years ago, the score was 87-82 for the US over France and this time the win, 98-87, was even bigger and maybe sweeter, considering that the game was played in Paris. While there’s no doubt that Team USA has to play, the competition still has some work to do in order to catch up. Stephen Curry scored 24 points, including four triples in crunch time. Devin Booker with 13 points in the first half set the tone early, Kevin Durant added 15 points, becoming the first male basketball player with four gold medals, LeBron James added 14 points, six rebounds, and nine assists.

Stephen Curry’s 1st four Olympics games: 29 points on 10-of-28 FGs (5-of-20 from 3).
Last two: 60 points on 20-of-32 FGs. (17-of-27 from 3).
Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
