Yabusel’s third triple in the third quarter again narrowed France’s double-digit gap to 55:62, but the balance was soon restored by J. Tatum’s shot.
France started the third quarter with three points and was even closer: the gap was just two points (42:44). Durant continued to terrorize his rivals: After a three-point striker, the United States again held a double-digit lead 56:45.
Second half: United States – France 44:39 (22:18, 22:21)
N. De Colo’s three points and E. Fournier’s free throws before the end of the half “cut” the United States’ lead by half – 38:43.

J. Tatumas, who got up from the bench and scored 7 points and the Americans led 30:24 at the start of the second half, perfectly joined the United States game.
First half: United States v France 22:18
The ninth generation did not lie – K. Durant scored a triple, and in the next attack he attacked far again – this time the French fouled and by scoring three more points the striker put the United States ahead 18:15. Durant’s bill already had 12 points.
Still, Fournier stabbed a long shot, the French led 10: 4 and the United States were forced to call for a break in the first minute.
Both teams struggled to rack up points early in the match: the French had already made a mistake three times in half the time and the USA lost five free throws from the three-point zone.

The French became American executioners in two years. At the World Cup in China, they eliminated the United States in the quarterfinals and beat the Americans again in the Olympic group stage.
It is true that the USA recovered from the cold shower, sweeping away Iran and the Czech Republic, eliminating the Spanish in the quarter-finals and the Australians in the semi-finals.
The French reached the Italians in the quarter-finals, and in the semi-finals they removed Slovenia after a fantastic block from Nicolas Batumo.
