“You just stay confident, stay present and don’t get rattled by the moment,” said Curry, who had 17 3-pointers in his last two games, starting with nine against Serbia to get to the gold-medal game.

The US basketball team with their gold medals in Paris on Saturday

Curry made four 3-pointers in the final 2:43, including the one that just sealed the win with 1:19 remaining. It put USA up 93-84 and he skipped down the court letting out a yell, shaking his jersey so everyone could see the “USA” across the front. One more followed with about 30 seconds left, with the “go to sleep” move where he puts his hands on the side of his face.  “For me to get a gold medal is insane, and I thank God for the opportunity to experience it,” Curry said.

US women win too

Meanwhile, USA pipped China for top spot in the battle of medals on Sunday. In a thrilling finale that capped 17 days of spellbinding action, the USA women’s basketball team squeezed past France 67-66 to clinch the last gold of the Games. The win—USA’s eighth consecutive Olympic women’s basketball title—ensured the Americans finished level with China on 40 golds each as the games drew to a close.
