TEAM USA secured a fourth straight Olympic gold medal as they beat France 87-82 in Tokyo.
It was the second time the two teams had met in the competition, with France having inflicted the USA’s first Games loss since 2004 in the group stage.
However, Gregg Popovich’s favourites, who under-performed in the build-up, hit their stride when it mattered most.
Kevin Durant was the USA’s standout player yet again, scoring 29 points.
