[ESPN] - France upsets U.S. men's basketball, snaps winning streak
It wasn't completely shocking given Team USA's bumpy exhibition game stretch in the lead-up to Tokyo -- the U.S. lost to Nigeria and Australia, marking the first time it has lost back-to-back exhibition games since professionals began playing in 1992 -- which revealed this team is not infallible. But the Americans' loss to France was still notable -- and jarring -- in that it snapped their 25-game Olympic winning streak dating back to 2004 in Athens.
Again, this team will not medal at these Games. |
