Paris CNN —The USA men’s basketball team on Saturday won its fifth straight Olympic gold medal, defeating a spirited French team 98-87. With four massive, dagger threes in the final minutes, the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history capped off his first ever Olympics with a vintage performance that had the French team reeling. Even in the final minutes as Curry put their team away, the French fans reacted with a mixture of shock, awe, frustration and heartbreak. Team USA would not trail again. With their typical stifling defense, the French team got within three points of the US.
