The Paris 2024 Olympics provided a lot of exciting moments on Thursday, but perhaps Team USA men's basketball's 95-91 victory over Serbia in the semifinal round takes the cake.
Despite being heavy favorites coming into the game, Team USA were heavy favorites. But Serbia was in control for the first three quarters and had a 13-point lead going into the final period. LeBron James and Stephen Curry were the main players who led the comeback as James finished the game as a whole with a triple-double while Curry scored 36 points, but former Kansas Jayhawks standout center Joel Embiid also played a key role in the instant classic as he scored seven of his 19 points in the fourth quarter.
In total, the Philadelphia 76ers' 2023 NBA MVP shot a very efficient 8-of-11 from the field, including 2-of-3 from downtown and 1-of-1 from the charity stripe, while also grabbing four rebounds , two assists and a crucial fourth-quarter block. With this victory, the 2014 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and the rest of Team USA advance to the Gold Medal match against France.
