It's the Americans fifth straight gold medal in Olympic basketball.
Edwards and Team USA beat Gobert and France 98-87 in the Olympic men’s basketball final Saturday afternoon in Paris, making it five straight Olympic golds for the Americans.
Team USA’s star-studded lineup completed a perfect Olympic run, and the Americans were never really in any danger in the gold-medal game. While the French hung around, Team USA led the game from start to finish, avoiding a scare like they faced in the semis against Serbia. Edwards came off the bench for the Americans and scored eight points on 3-of-7 shooting. Four of the five U.S. starters finished in double figures with Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and LeBron James scoring 24, 15, 15 and 14 points, respectively.Gobert came off the bench again for the French, and while he saw more action than he did in the quarterfinals and semifinals, he had just two points on 1-for-2 shooting.
There was a notable moment between Edwards and Gobert during the first quarter when Edwards hit a 3-pointer over Gobert that put the Americans up 20-15. Edwards proceeded to give him some trash talk — a fun moment of banter between the Timberwolves teammates.Wembanyama grabbed an offensive rebound and got a putback dunk with under three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter that made it an 82-79 game, but Curry immediately answered with a 3 to put the Americans back up six.
