Team USA will not be winning consecutive gold medals in women's 3x3 basketball following a loss to Spain in the semifinal round on Monday.
The 2024 squad featured Hailey Van Lith, Cierra Burdick, Dearica Hamby and Rhyne Howard. The U.S. led by one point with 13 seconds remaining in regulation, but Spain eventually pulled away in overtime and won by the final score of 18-16.
The American team may not go home empty-handed, as a bronze medal is up for grabs despite Monday's defeat.
