USA vs France prediction in 2024 Paris Olympic gold medal gameJustin Martinez, staff writer
If you just looked at the final score, Team USA’s 95-91 win over Serbia in the semifinals wasn’t very convincing.
But what was convincing was the way the United States erased a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter, overpowering Serbia on both ends of the floor. It’ll have to bring that energy for four quarters against a red-hot France team that has home court advantage.
Jrue Holiday is the perfect candidate to contain Isaia Cordinier on the perimeter, and bigs such as Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis will finally put an end to France’s dominance down low. This one will be much closer than the spread, but I’m picking Team USA to secure its fifth straight Olympic gold medal.
Prediction: United States 84, France 79
