France had the homecourt advantage and rising star Victor Wembanyama ; but the USA had Stephen Curry, and that was all that mattered in the dying stages of Saturday's gold medal match as Team USA won its fifth straight Olympic gold medal in men's basketball.  The USA held off France 98-87 behind 24 points from Curry, as a star-studded group including LeBron James and Kevin Durant thwarted away a late French rally. The Americans led by as much as 14 in the fourth quarter but saw that advantage dwindle to just three after a Victor Wembanyama tip-in with just under three minutes remaining.Â
