Rudy should have made a few more FTs, but the USA just has too much talent. Too many guys can drive the ball, shoot the ball and create for themselves. Durant is in his own class.

Props to France for playing their guts out and all staying on the same page playing solid team basketball. Kevin Durant was a monster

France was tough with their bigs. USA made some bonehead plays down the stretch but they pulled it out. Congrats USA and France

USA doesn't have to worry about Europe but there's a new Sherriff in town.

France's abysmal free throw shooting did them in, otherwise i thought they played game. Couple of unforced turnover s but the 2 center lineup was very good for them.

Yeah Rudy has to realize that his FT shooting may have cost them the gold today. Refine that form big man!
