PARIS (AP) — Down by 11 in the fourth quarter, against what looked like overwhelming odds, the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team got a spark. Six points in two seconds. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker provided that wild sequence to start the comeback, Stephen Curry had a scoring night like almost none other in U.S. Olympic history, and the Americans will play for gold at the Paris Games.

After a semifinal to remember against the USA, the Serbs didn’t want to finish the Paris Olympics without a medal. Plus, they were facing the World Champions Germans who beat them in the final of the FIBA World Cup last September. So the stakes were high, Nikola Jokic and Vasilje Micic who were absent in Manila, played in Paris and the result was an easy 93-83 win. Counting Yugoslavia’s results, this is the second bronze for the Serbs, after 1984, while they have also won four silvers (1968, 1976, 1988, 1996, 2016) and one gold (1980). Nikola Jokic recorded the 5th ever triple-double in the history of the Olympic Games with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists.
