NEWSROOM WITH THE DETAILS. JOSH KATIE TODD. LOVELY TO SEE YOU BOTH. LET’S GET RIGHT TO IT. THE AMERICANS STRUGGLED AGAINST SERBIA THURSDAY AND TODAY THEY CONTROLLED THE ACTION FOR MOST OF THE GAME AGAINST THE FRENCH, WINNING THEIR FIFTH STRAIGHT GOLD MEDAL AND A TRUE AWAY GAME IN PARIS. STEPH CURRY, IN HIS FIRST OLYMPICS, HAD EIGHT THREES, 24 POINTS. FINAL SCORE 98 TO 87 AND PERHAPS THE BIGGEST QUESTION COMING INTO THE GAME OTHER THAN WILL THEY WIN, WAS WILL JAYSON TATUM PLAY THE CELTICS ALL STAR NBA CHAMPION WAS BENCHED TWICE AGAINST SERBIA IN THESE OLYMPICS AS HEAD COACH STEVE KERR EXPLAINING THAT OTHER TEAMMATES WERE PLAYING WELL AND HE CAME OFF THE BENCH TODAY AS A CONTRIBUTOR TO HELP HIS TEAM GET THE GOLD MEDAL. BUT HE TOOK ONLY THREE SHOTS, MAKING ONE OF THEM WITH THREE REBOUNDS ON THE NIGHT. JRUE HOLIDAY ALSO CAME OFF THE BENCH. HE SCORED SIX POINTS, INCLUDING TWO IMPORTANT THREE POINTERS, AND HAD FOUR ASSISTS ON THE NIGHT. DERRICK WHITE DID NOT PLAY IN THIS ONE. THIS GAME WAS CLOSE, BUT UNLIKE THE SEMIS WHERE THEY TRAILED BY 17 POINTS, THE AMERICANS NEVER RELINQUISHED THEIR SECOND HALF LEAD. THE WOMEN WILL GO FOR THE DOUBLE.
