    The United States men's basketball team has advanced to the Olympic Final after defeating Serbia 95-91 in the semifinal of the Paris Olympics.

    Stephen Curry led Team USA with 36 points, eight rebounds, and two assists. The Golden State Warriors guard played a phenomenal game, knocking down nine three-pointers in the matchup.

    His veteran teammate, LeBron James, recorded a massive triple-double, posting 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists.

    The United States found themselves down late in the fourth quarter, but a push from Curry, James, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid in the final minutes helped edge out a victory against Serbia and the defending NBA MVP, Nikola Jokic.

    Following the game, James and Curry shared a passionate embrace, putting their heads together and screaming in joy. James grabbed Curry's head as the two were hyped to secure the victory and advance in the Olympics, and the Warriors guard nodded in approval.

    Both players spent time battling at the highest level of the NBA, going head-to-head in the NBA Finals on four separate occasions, as James was with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Curry was piloting the Warriors.

    Fans loved the interaction between James and Curry, with the video and close-up photo of the two receiving millions of views soon after the game.

    "TRUE GOATS!" said one fan with the goat and crown emojis.

    "Unreal moment!!" said another fan.

    "Steph Curry just had one of the best Olympic performances of all time! His play was truly amazing!" commented another fan.
