After a thrilling comeback victory over Serbia on Thursday, where they overcame a 13-point deficit entering the fourth quarter, the United States men’s basketball team recreated a celebratory photo they had taken after their quarterfinal win. The team’s resilience and determination were on full display as they secured their place in the gold medal game.

Next up, Team USA will face France on their home turf. France is led by young phenom and Rookie of the Year, Victor Wembanyama, along with seasoned NBA veterans Evan Fournier, Nicolas Batum, and Rudy Gobert.
Earlier on Thursday, France pulled off an impressive win over Germany, entering the game as underdogs. Germany will now compete against Serbia in the bronze medal match early on Saturday, while the USA will take on France at 3:30 PM ET in the highly anticipated gold medal game.
If the United States emerges victorious, it’s likely they’ll return to the same spot outside the stadium for another photo—this time, proudly displaying gold medals around their necks.
