United States star Steph Curry put on an absolute shooting clinic in Saturday's Olympic gold-medal game against France.

Curry, who finished with 24 points on eight made three-pointers, buried five of his eight made threes in the fourth quarter to help clinch the victory for the United States, 98–87.
