The Netherlands are the second-ever 3x3 basketball gold medalist.
After Japan won gold at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics in the first year of the event, the Netherlands defeated France 18-17 on Monday to claim gold in Paris.
France defeated the world No. 1 Serbia in a play-in game before defeating Latvia in the semifinal while the Netherlands dominated Lithuania 21-9 in the semifinal to advance to the gold medal game.
The two teams battled back and forth for the entirety of the game and the Netherlands' Arvin Slagter hit a clutch two-pointer to tie things up going into the final minute.
