Related Topics: Serbia, Paul George, Gold medal

Seven down, one to go. Pacers All-Star Paul George and the United States men's basketball team are just one win away from securing the country's third consecutive Olympic gold medal in men's basketball. Standing in there way is a Serbian team that gave them their toughest game so far in Rio.

The Americans eked out a 94-91 win over Serbia in the group stage on Aug. 12. The USA controlled that game early, leading by as many as 18 points in the first half, but allowed Serbia to claw their way back. The United States only narrowly avoided overtime when Bogdan Bogdanovic missed an open 3-pointer just before the final buzzer.
