USA's Remarkable Comeback Against Serbia In Olympics Semi-Final

Stephen Curry lauded the United States' resilience after their dramatic comeback win against Serbia in the Olympics semi-final. Despite trailing by 13 points at the start of the fourth quarter, Team USA, who have secured gold in the last four Olympics, emerged victorious with a 95-91 scoreline.

Curry was instrumental for Team USA, scoring 36 points, marking the second-highest individual score in the team's Olympic history. His crucial free throws in the final moments ensured Serbia couldn't stage another twist. "We talked about it the whole way, all summer," Curry said. "No matter how it looked, we were going to be challenged at some point."

Serbia had a strong start, leading by 17 points in the first half. NBA MVP Nikola Jokic contributed significantly with 17 points and 11 assists. However, they faltered towards the end of the game. Curry highlighted their defensive efforts as key to their victory: "Obviously, I hit the big three, but our defence carried us. Defence wins games in any league, especially in FIBA."

LeBron James also played a pivotal role by tying the game at 84-84 with four minutes left. He finished with a triple-double—16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists—becoming the first player to achieve this twice at the Olympics. James praised Serbia's performance: "Give a lot of credit to Serbia," he said. "They gave us everything they had."

The USA will now face hosts France in Saturday's gold-medal match.

Curry reflected on their journey and motivation: "We have no quit, and we know how much this means to win a gold medal with this group." The determination to secure a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal was evident throughout their campaign.

Serbia's strong play tested Team USA's mettle and brought out their best performance when it mattered most. The thrilling comeback showcased not only individual brilliance but also collective effort and strategic defence.

The upcoming match against France promises to be another exciting encounter as Team USA aims to continue their golden streak.
