Victor Wembanyama and the French men's basketball team defeated Germany 73-69 in the semifinal round on Thursday to secure a spot in the gold-medal game.

France will face the winner of the United States and Serbia for gold.

While holding onto a narrow two-point lead with less than 10 seconds remaining, French wing Isaia Cordinier connected on a pair of free throws to put the game out of reach.

Wembanyama finished with 11 points and seven rebounds in just under 32 minutes of action.
