Olympic Basketball Bracket 2024: USA Beats France to Win Women's Gold Medal

The United States women's basketball team survived a scare from France to win its eighth consecutive gold medal.

A'ja Wilson and Co. did not play their best game, but they found a way to grind out a 67-66 victory over host nation France.

Wilson produced 21 points and 13 rebounds, while Kahleah Copper and Kelsey Plum each scored 12 points off the bench.

Gabby Williams led France with 19 points, and she came up a few feet short of tying the game at the buzzer. Williams' feet were clearly inside the three-point line and that led to Team USA winning in regulation.

The gold-medal game victory provided Team USA with its 40th gold medal of the Paris Games, which tied China for the most golds in 2024.
