If there was still any question, the USA's 2021 Olympic opener proved they are no longer the dominant force in international basketball.
After leading by as many as 10 points in the first half, the United States was outscored 13-0 in the deciding moments of the fourth quarter before going on to lose 83-76 to France in the first game of group play for both teams at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
The loss snaps a 25-game winning streak in Olympic play for the United States. Their last such loss came at the 2004 Olympics in Athens to Argentina.
