Olympic basketball: Steph Curry and LeBron James lead US into final with comeback win
A star-studded United States side showed their quality when it mattered as they fought back from a 13-point deficit to beat Serbia in a thrilling Olympic men’s basketball semi-final.
The vast array of NBA superstars, led by LeBron James and Steph Curry, trailed 76-63 going into the final quarter.
But they turned up the heat and turned around the deficit to win 95-91 at a noisy Bercy Arena.
The comeback maintained the Americans’ bid for a fifth successive gold in an Olympic event which they have dominated since it was introduced in 1936.
On Saturday, they will play hosts France in the gold-medal match.
Serbia, led by reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, must settle for a crack at bronze when they face Germany earlier on the same day.
