USA basketball pulls off furious comeback to beat Serbia
The United States mens basketball team will attempt to reach its fifth consecutive gold-medal game at the Olympics.
The United States has medaled in 19 Olympics, winning 16 gold medals, one silver, and two bronze since the first Games were held in 1936.
The mens national basketball team of the United States won the gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
The Americans were in trouble against Serbia and its star player, Nikola Jokic, early on. Serbia led by as many as 15 points in the first half, and the United States trailed by 10 at halftime.
But the United States came out firing in the second half, and they slowly chipped away at Serbia's lead. With just over two minutes remaining, Kevin Durant hit a three-pointer to give the United States a 93-91 lead. Serbia had a chance to tie the game with a three-pointer of their own, but they missed, and the United States held on for the win.
The United States will now face Spain in the gold-medal game on Sunday.
In conclusion, the United States mens basketball team showed great heart and determination in their come-from-behind win over Serbia. They never gave up, and they eventually got the victory. This is a team that is capable of winning the gold medal, and they will be a tough opponent for Spain in the final.
