Tokyo Olympics while you were sleeping: Golden day for U.S. men's basketball, women's water polo and golfer Nelly Korda

It wasn't the smoothest of rides for the U.S. men's basketball team, but in the end they will exit these Olympics with a fourth consecutive gold medal.

After falling to France in group play – a rare Olympic setback for the Americans after a rough exhibition run – Team USA got revenge when it mattered most, winning the gold medal game 87-82.

"We went through some real adversity. We just fought though everything," said Kevin Durant, who scored a game-high 29 points to cap another brilliant Olympics.
