USA's #06 LeBron James celebrates with USA's #04 Stephen Curry at the end of the men's semifinal basketball match between USA and Serbia during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Bercy Arena in Paris on August 8, 2024. AFPParis, France—The United States had to dig deep to erase a 17-point deficit to beat Nikola Jokic’s Serbia 95-91 on Thursday to keep their bid for a fifth straight Olympic men’s basketball gold medal alive.

The US team led by James is reckoned to be the most talent laden since the 1992 Dream Team led by Michael Jordan. Curry rattled in a three-pointer with 2:24 remaining to give the United States their first lead since the first quarter at 87-86. James followed with a driving layup, Curry grabbed a steal and drove for a basket that pushed the US lead to five and the Americans held on.
