Kevin Durant and the rest of the US Basketball team secured the gold medal for men’s basketball at the 2022 Tokyo Olympics. The Team USA defeated France 87-82, in a hard fought game, which the United States team are a favorite to win but an upset by the French team was also expected, since they are the only team that gave the US basketball team their only loss in the tournament.
This is KD’s third Olympic gold medal, scoring 29 point to cap off this year’s tournament. His previous record for the past 2 gold-medal was 30-points a piece.
Team USA needed all 40 minutes to secure the win, since France’s basketball team still saw a chance steal the gold, when the U.S. team missed 3 of their last 4 free throw before KD sink both of his free-throw to put the game away.
Four in a row!
