Another gold for the girls! 😤
•
The U.S. women’s basketball team defeated France 67-66 to snag their eighth consecutive gold medal at Paris 2024. ‼️
•
The win was the closest the U.S. has ever won an Olympic gold medal since the 1988 Games when they beat Yugoslavia by seven points.
•
France absolutely pushed Team USA to the brink, with some incredible defensive play forcing the US into turnovers and uncharacteristic missed shots. Gabby Williams was the standout player on the French squad, hitting a last second 2-pointer that if it had been a three, would’ve sent the game into OT. 👀
•
Team USA was led by A’ja Wilson, who produced 21 points and 13 rebounds, while Kahleah Copper and Kelsey Plum each scored 12 points off the bench.
•
WIth the win, Stewie picked up her third Olympic gold while A’ja snagged her second. 👏

Let’s go girls!! 🔥#thegist
