USA 98–87 France: Curry’s Late Shot-Making Seals Olympic Gold

The United States defeated France 98–87 in the men’s Olympic basketball final at Paris 2024.

France challenged with energy, home support and the presence of Victor Wembanyama, but the United States had the late-game shot-making to close the contest.

Stephen Curry’s late three-point shooting became the signature image of the final, but the bigger lesson was composure. When France created tension, the United States responded with spacing, execution and experience.
