The USA's basketball players were heavily pressured in the Olympic Games semifinal, but in the end they could turn it around and win against Serbia.

The two teams also met in the group stage and then the USA won with a clear 110–84, but the Serbs, with NBA star Nikola Jokic on the team, had obviously done their homework since then.

Serbia had control of the match until only minutes remained – then the USA, with a team packed with stars like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry, woke up and turned it around to win 95–91.

The USA is hunting for its fifth consecutive Olympic Games gold. In the final, they will face the host nation France, who beat Germany 73–69 in their semifinal.
