PARIS This dream is still alive.
The United States mounted a furious fourth-quarter comeback in the semifinals of the Paris Olympics to earn a 95-91 win over Serbia and advance to the gold-medal game, where it will face host nation France on Saturday at Bercy Arena.
Many considered this team, with the best collection of talent the NBA could offer, a second Dream Team, following the legendary 1992 team that helped globalize the game. The impact of that growth nearly came back to shock the United States as Serbia, led by four NBA players including three-time NBA most valuable player Nikola Jokic, held an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter.
But the Americans answered with a 17-6 run. Stephen Currys three-pointer rattled in and he let out a scream as the United States jumped ahead by one with 2:24 remaining. At the final horn, Curry leaped into the air and pumped his fist. He jumped on LeBron James, who had thrown the ball into the air. James grasped Currys face with both hands and brought their foreheads together.
