00:08last against France to win 67-66 and secure their eighth sequential gold decoration in
00:14the last occasion of the Paris Games. In an ever-changing challenge before a tumultuous
00:19group at the Bercy Field that recited boisterously with every France bin.
00:23The Americans followed by two full digits in the second from last quarter prior to retaliating to
00:27expand their record of 61 progressive successes in Olympic rivalry that traces all the way back
00:32to 1992. In doing as such, the USA ladies laid out the record for the longest Olympic gold
00:39decoration grouping in a customary group activity, overshadowing the past imprints set by the USA

01:03decoration table. Understand more. Aya Wilson scored a game-high 21 focuses in a challenge
01:10that was possibly settled when Gabby Williams' somewhat late bushel off a cross-court pass from
01:14Maureen Yohannes came from right inside the three-point line. Costing the hosts an opportunity
01:19to stretch out the game to extra time by centimeters. That France kept it so close
01:24was noteworthy enough considering just two groups during the U.S. group's record win streak
01:28have figured out how to keep the edge inside single digits. We were only versatile in what
01:33we expected to do, said Wilson, who procured her second Olympic gold. We continued onward,
01:40can for can. That is extraordinary ball and that is the thing individuals need to see.
01:45Our safeguard sort of gotten comfortable and we kicked stops and we are feeling it together.

02:40the generally romping Bercy Field ejected into a mass of sound. Yet, the Americans shut the
02:45hole very quickly through Wilson, Kelsey Plum, Brianna Stewart and super-sub Sabrina Ionescu,
02:52taking a 41 to 40 lead on Nafisa Collier's completely open rest-up off a dazzling Ionescu

03:09bringing the group once more into it, yet were ill-fated by a progression of basic errors down
03:14the stretch, including an airballed three-point endeavor by Williams with France following 62 to

03:26said USA community Brittany Greiner, retaliating tears subsequent to winning her third gold.
03:32Perhaps they'll quit saying that, since, similar to I said, we see everyone's absolute best.
03:38Also, we saw the shot that France gave us. Skirt past pamphlet promotion after bulletin
03:44advancement. With the success, Diana Taurasi got her sixth Olympic gold award, the most by a person
03:51in any group activity ever, while Plum and Jackie Youthful turned into the primary players to win
