How to watch Team USA men's basketball compete for the gold medal against France

After a rocky start, Team USA's men's basketball team will compete for gold Friday against France. The star-studded men's team struggled early in exhibition play but has recently found its footing, largely thanks to the world-class scoring of Kevin Durant.

Team USA will face its toughest challenge in France, which is made up of NBA players Rudy Gobert, Evan Fournier and Nicholas Batum. If they win, it will be the fourth consecutive Olympic Games that Team USA men's team wins gold in the event. (They previously won in 2008, 2012 and 2016.) On Thursday, Team USA defeated Australia 97-78 in the semi-finals. The U.S. trailed at halftime but Durant finished with a game-high of 23 points, nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks. He'll need another big performance, and his teammates will need to shoot much better for three if Team USA wants to continue its streak.
