The U.S. is one win away from their third consecutive Olympic gold medal, and they’ll have some familiarity with their opponent going in.
Serbia, which blew out Australia in the semifinal round, is the opposition and they’re playing with a great deal of confidence. Guard Milos Teodosic has led the way offensively with his ability to both score and find open teammates, and players such as Bogdan Bogdanovic, Milan Macvan and Nikola Jokic have been the beneficiaries. Teodosic accounted for 18 points and six assists in the first meeting between the two teams, a 94-91 U.S. victory with Bogdanovic missing what would have been a game-tying three-pointer as time expired.
