It wasn't pretty, but the United States women's basketball team secured its eighth straight gold medal with a tight 67–66 win over France on Sunday at Bercy Arena to wrap up the Olympic Games.
A back-and-forth battle for Olympic immortality, the game was tied at 55–55 with 3:45 to play. France stuck around in the final minutes, trimming Team USA's lead to one with five seconds remaining at 65–64, but Kahleah Copper knocked down a pair of free throws and French forward Gabby Williams's foot was on the line on buzzer-beater that she banked in.
