    Those last 2 minutes were crazy

  2. Chelseatilidie

    Of course this game had the dramatic ending lol

  3. SnuggleBear2

    Man that game reminded me of a middle school game with all those missed layups and travels. But glad USA got the win in the end.

  4. dublecheekedup

    I apologize to Steve Kerr. He’s Pat Riley compared to Cheryl

  5. jbenson255

    Gabby Williams tried lol but those last possessions by France was just awful basketball

  6. Dakota5810

    That has to be one of the worst ways to lose (and win, lol) that I’ve ever seen

  7. eec-gray

    France were so close to taking it to OT! What a finish !

  8. ice-eight

    That ending must have given Kevin Durant PTSD

  9. sergechewbacca

    Clutch FT shooting by the US, but overall that was a tough watch.

    Gabby Williams of France is pretty good though.

  10. MrBuckBuck

    That was so dramatic!

    Gabby Williams with a 3-pointer, and then with Kevin Durant foot moment…

    8th consecutive gold medal for the USA women basketball.

  11. Wafflesam

    USA go top of the medal table with that too

  12. Screamyy

    Making all those free throws was so crucial

  13. Gabby Williams joining Chris Conley in the “I did the right thing but it wasn’t the right thing” Hall of Fame.

    Congrats to Team USA. Not a great game, but a great team. 32 years unbeaten, it goes on.

  14. MaxEhrlich

    No one won that game, I’ve never seen so many missed layups in my life.

  15. zincinzincout

    France shot 36 threes and made… 7 of them

    The US scored almost half of their points on free throws, shooting 27/34……

    Both teams combined for 42 of 129 from the floor

    Bruh.

  16. DCoop53

    I honestly feel like the french lost it when they had everything to win, terrible possessions in the clutch.

  17. GZAofTheMidwest

    Did A’ja Wilson really call Kahleah Copper “that bitch”??? 🤣🤣🤣

  18. Feanor1497

    Worst game of basketball I’ve watched in a long time.

  19. DFisBUSY

    Watched 95% of the game.

    Sloppy on both ends. Lots of fouls called (correct or not). A’ja couldn’t buy a basketball early on. France got desperate towards the end and if they didn’t airball 2(?) of their final 3 pointers, they might’ve unseated the US. France’s #15 Williams got a bit unlucky with the KD on the line moment but it was a desperation heave, and was 1 literally about half a foot away from the miracle.

    Very dramatic finish at least, and actually made for an interesting way to end the Olympics overall.

    edit: need to shoutout to Plum and Cooper for the 4 ice in the veins free throws. Any miss and it could’ve been a different story today.

    **Noah Eagle** was great! NBA on **NBC** is in good hands

  21. incredibleamadeuscho

    Team USA got lucky that the metric system caused Gabbie Williams to miscalculate the distance of her shot.

  22. -BeefSupreme

    If only we had some younger stars on the team.

    Taurasi last 5 games:

    Finals: 0 min, 0 stats

    Semis: 6 min, 0/2 FG, 0 pts, 2 PF, 1 TO, -1 +/-

    Quarters: 15 min, 1/4 FG, 3 pts, -1 +/-

    vs GER: 6 min, 0/1 FG, 0 pts, -7 +/-

    vs BEL: 14 min, 0/3 FG, 2 PF, 1 TO, -4 +/-

    Only US player to not have a single positive +/- in the past 5 games.

  23. jumboponcho

    Caitlyn, Arike, and Paige are gonna hit like crack in the 80s in 4 years because these guards we had playing were ass. Honestly Aja and Stewie should be the only ones safe

  24. incredibleamadeuscho

    Gabbie Williams 🤝🏽 Kevin Durant:

    Feet too big in the clutch

  25. RichieD79

    Really squashing that “there wouldn’t be minutes for Clark” narrative with such a high level of play! /s

  26. CongratulationJism12

    Ugly as shit, incredibly, ridiculously physical really, but still got the dub. Womens basketball is not this bad if this was your first time watching, lol.

  27. devomke

    Can’t put a rookie who’s one of the best playmakers AND shooters in the WNBA on the roster tho…

    Garbage product today lol

  28. cmjoker

    Unusual sloppy play by USA especially after beating Australia the way they did.  I know defensive intensity and pressure played a role, but I was shocked how bad they played the last five minutes.

    Overall, glad they pulled it off.

  29. moneyinthebank216

    Diana is the ultimate bus rider

  30. interstellar304

    I’m sorry but telling me Caitlin Clark wouldn’t improve the US team is nonsense. sure she is young and will plenty of opportunities but if US had lost this game it would have been a travesty for womens basketball

  31. 2020IsANightmare

    OK. Cool. THAT was women’s basketball!

    Let’s all try to forget it and get back to women’s basketball that is at least sort of mildly interesting.

    When do Clark and Reese play next?

  32. JohnSmithSensei

    That game is why viewers find Caitlyn Clark is so exciting to watch. That game was ugly.
