What happened: The United States beat France 98-87 on Aug. 10, 2024. Stephen Curry scored 24 points in his first Olympic final.
Why it matters: The win delivered the Americans' fifth straight men's basketball gold and 17th overall. Curry's late shooting halted a comeback that had cut the margin to three.
By the numbers: Curry shot 8 of 13 overall and 8 of 12 from deep, accounting for all 24 of his points from beyond the arc. His eight 3-pointers set an Olympic final record.
What to watch: That record will next be tested at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
