Late surge helps Team USA survive Serbia

For the third time in the last month, Team USA squared off against Nikola Jokic and Team Serbia, this time with a trip to the gold medal game on the line. They say it’s hard to beat a team three straight times, and that looked to be true at many points this afternoon.

Serbia got off to a white-hot start, making their first five shots of the game and shooting an absurd clip from the three-point arc.

While Steph Curry got off to just as good of a start, the Americans found themselves trailing by double digits for much of this one.
