The US national team is just two wins away from its fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal, and a familiar opponent stands in their way.
The Americans will face Serbia for the third time in three weeks, and this match – a semifinal on Thursday afternoon – is the most risky, as the winner will face France or Germany in the gold medal match on Saturday.
On Tuesday, the US team defeated upstart Brazil 122-87. Devin Booker (18 points) was one of six Americans to score in double figures.
Serbia is impressive, overcoming a 24-point deficit to surprise Australia in Tuesday’s quarterfinal match. Three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic had 21 points and 14 rebounds in the 95-90 overtime victory.
