Team USA needed a late rally to overcome a 15 point deficit against Nikola Jokic and Serbia to clinch a spot in the gold medal match against France.
The men's basketball gold medal game at the 2024 Paris Olympics should be an epic one.
Host nation France punched its ticket to the game first, beating Dennis Schroder and Germany in a low-scoring affair that ended at 73-69.
The second semifinal delivered more points and maintained the thrill, with Team USA coming back from double digits to top Nikola Jokic and Serbia 95-91.
The two results mean LeBron James and Co. will take on Victor Wembanyama and Co. for the ultimate Olympic prize. Here's how to watch the final:
