Team USA survived a seismic upset in their semi-final against Serbia on Thursday evening, overturning a 76-63 deficit to keep their Olympic glory hopes alive.

The NBA All-Stars were expected to steamroll their way to the final, but were made to sweat by an impressive Serbian team, who were spearheaded by three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.

In the end, USA - who are 1/22 on the Money Line - had Steph Curry's 36 points and LeBron James' triple-double to thank as they just about saw off their European opponents, who will now go for bronze against Germany.

Coming into the Games, the US had won gold in eight of the last 10 Olympics, with their last stumble occurring back in 2004 when they were forced to settle for third place in Athens.

France meanwhile, edged past Germany 73-69 in their last four encounter, on the back of a quarter-final success over Canada - and they are priced at 11/1 to see off the US and land coveted gold on home soil.
