Last gold medal game in Tokyo

Last gold medal game in Tokyo France and Team USA battled for all forty minutes, and it was the Americans that came out on top in an 87-82 game in which Kevin Durant had 29 points. Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier ad 16 points a piece and Yabusele chipped in 13 for a France team that has six of the same players from their Tokyo team. Team USA has five players from that gold medal winning team, but absent from that team were LeBron James, Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards, Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis among others. France is a better team today than they were four years ago, but so is Team USA. The important thing to take from the last gold medal game, and Team USA’s last game against Serbia, is this team is not as invincible as it once was.
