Paris Olympics: USA women rebound from 10-point third-quarter deficit to capture eighth straight basketball gold

PARIS — The dynasty thrives. Victory didn’t come easy, but it still came all the same. Team USA’s women’s basketball team has won its eighth straight gold medal, defeating France 67-66 in the final competition of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. A'ja Wilson led the United States with 21 points, and the United States won only when Gabby Williams' foot was on the line for a potential game-tying three-point shot.

The floor at Bercy Arena still had scorch marks from where Steph Curry had caught fire on Saturday night, leading Team USA to a victory over France’s men’s team.
