Added: 2026-05-21

[00:00:00]But at the end of the day, the issue that they're going to come up leading scorer, that didn't stop them. They didn't miss it. gets it down low.

[00:00:07]Back outside to Holmgren.

[00:00:10]Miller Miller goes left and hits the open jump shot. The ball fake and left the floor.

[00:00:17]We Drago gets it back to Brazdeikis.

[00:00:19]He's been very tough in this tournament.

[00:00:21]Gets it over to Wembanyama.

[00:00:24]And Wembanyama misses and Holmgren gets it down the floor.

[00:00:31]He got injured in one of the group games just before the knockout stages.

[00:00:36]We Drago goes right at Holmgren.

[00:00:40]To see you.

[00:00:43]Here he is driving in.

[00:00:46]Wem Wembanyama gets the rebound and France really quickly coming back. He's got a lot of strapping on his back off the court. I'm He's obviously not fit. So, Traore's insertion Oh! from three-point range.

[00:01:03]Go up, Kenny. Brazdeikis has it knocked away. He gets into the paint. Holmgren up ahead AND FLYING IN.

[00:01:11]OH, this is what's wrong.

[00:01:15]Sidy Cissoko, Wembanyama Cissoko twisting turn.

[00:01:22]to the ball first.

[00:01:26]losing the basketball was Ingram. Here comes France.

[00:01:30]What?

[00:01:30]Brazdeikis open Shot clock down to 10. Too much dribbling starting here.

[00:01:39]He was good last night and he's good at getting placed. Marcelo Neto >> Neto. Yeah, came in for him briefly last night. Looked like he got hurt. Oh, boy, look at that. Change to Miller.

[00:01:50]You know it.

[00:01:52]That's Miller time again. He goes in and throws it down.

[00:01:58]And you cannot turn the ball over against the USA. Here he is, Les Mond.

[00:02:03]It's the French.

[00:02:06]Les Mond, long three, good. And that's what he's supposed to do.

[00:02:14]Pass over to Miles in the right corner.

[00:02:20]French.

[00:02:21]Shot clock about to expire. He brings OVER RAYAN.

[00:02:24]>> [cheering] >> I MEAN STRAZEL, that's an incredible three-pointer.

[00:02:27]>> to turn it up a notch. They're coming away unsuccessful that trip. They Maheut Balou gets inside, missed the layup, and then >> [cheering] >> Wembanyama there for the putback dunk.

[00:02:36]Looks for Tidjane to pass it to him. Here comes Ivey. Puts his head down, gets inside.

[00:02:43]>> [screaming] >> Oh, that was a tough one.

[00:02:49]Alley-oop! Wembanyama, how did you lose sight of him? Tim, it's uh Wembanyama went down the lane. Miles spins, turns, gets rejected by Wembanyama.

[00:02:59]He is raising eyebrows.

[00:03:04]All tied. Chandler back in the game, and his pass intercepted by French. Holmgren falls down, it's going to leave an easy one for Mr. French.

[00:03:12]I think it's the biggest match of the tournament. Wembanyama for three.

[00:03:17]Ousmane Dieng goes up for the rebound, and he goes for the dunk.

[00:03:24]Miles over to Baldwin from deep, it's good.

[00:03:33]Passes out.

[00:03:34]Strazel and puts up under pressure.

[00:03:39]Michael Miles chases it down. I think maybe Wembanyama held onto it too long there, and they get it to Baldwin, who runs the floor well, and it's back to a one-point game. He's there now. Again, Wembanyama.

[00:03:52]Pump fake, and puts it up and he is fouled.

[00:03:57]Got their noses in front.

[00:04:00]Feeling that every possession important.

[00:04:02]Wembanyama for three.

[00:04:05]What do I know? Absolutely nothing. Take him out, coach.

[00:04:11]And here goes Lotna pulling his way and going up against Wade-Chatman and scores.

[00:04:21]Sidy Cissoko drives in on the follow from Wembanyama.

[00:04:26]Well, let's see if they go to Lotna again.

[00:04:30]Oh, they find that back door cut.

[00:04:33]Forcing him to alter his shot. Miller.

[00:04:36]Wembanyama knocks it over to Traore and Miller knocks it out of his hands and it is blocked. Unbelievable. The defense.

[00:04:43]I'm not sure he's going to get up here.

[00:04:47]Chandler from the arc. It's good.

[00:04:51]First time double. Shot clock about to expire. Les Mondy gets it off just in time.

[00:04:57]That was big time.

[00:04:59]The French have made some huge shots.

[00:05:05]Rayan Rupert, another three.

[00:05:09]Still your point is so valid, Jeff.

[00:05:11]You got to keep Coach giving you confidence. Sidy Cissoko drives in and the lead goes to eight.

[00:05:19]Now Les Mondy bounce pass back to Wembanyama.

[00:05:22]Oh, oh boy. Right into the path of Jayden Hardy who throws it down for the double.

[00:05:29]Here he is. Guarded by Wade-Chatman.

[00:05:32]He can't turn to his right so he has to pass back to Baldwin and he can shoot it and he does.

[00:05:37]Rayan Rupert.

[00:05:39]France again shaking just a little bit.

[00:05:41]Frisch for three. Got it.

[00:05:44]Clutch shooting from Frisch.

[00:05:47]Anonymous in last quarter. He's been terrific in this FIBA under 19 Basketball World Cup. And now a little runner there.

[00:05:56]Austin picks up the dribble, gets it to Holmgren. He gets on the baseline, puts it up and in.

[00:06:02]Now the French are going to have to play from behind.

[00:06:06]Big possession. Lofton goes right past Wembanyama.

[00:06:10]And I don't know if he was expecting help. And France haven't rotated and haven't tried to take that space away.

[00:06:16]Sidy Cissoko drives up and good defense from Ivey.

[00:06:21]You've got to go, you've got to go. You can't You can't go half and Ivey's just going to do that.

[00:06:27]>> wow. Ivey drives in and banks it in.

[00:06:29]It's been the way that the US have played defense in this whole second half. They just can't break them down on the dribble. And uh Sarr might be hurt again. Ivey drives in and gets another layup for the USA.

[00:06:42]Lofton fakes and uh instead of going up he tried to get it to Wembanyama and the USA take it the other way. Chandler misses. Now a chance in the open floor for France.

[00:06:51]>> Dodges the bullet.

[00:06:52]>> corner. Sidy Cissoko. Good. That breathes a little bit of life into their challenge. Gets it back to within four points. And Wembanyama's waiting to come back. And Sarr I think has to go out. He is in pain. You can see him trying to guard.

[00:07:07]Uh Chandler down there in the corner.

[00:07:09]Ball will be handed off to Ivey.

[00:07:13]Now Lofton a long way from the basket.

[00:07:14]This time the help does come and he follows up his own miss.

[00:07:20]Second hand on it. It's another tough shot attempt for them. Miles, he gets blocked by Wembanyama.

[00:07:27]Sarr turns.

[00:07:29]Free from the right. It's good.

[00:07:33]And it's a three-point game.

[00:07:35]Size and finesse they have on the inside.

[00:07:39]Great patience.

[00:07:40]>> Lofton again. They just can't stop him.

[00:07:49]Austin reaches in, knocks it away from Teekaboo, and then MILES GOES IN FOR THE DUNK.

[00:07:56]For emphasis. When they've needed to go inside, they've gone inside. When they've needed to play defense, they've played defense. They share it. They've just done a great job. Long two if it goes, and it does.

[00:08:07]No one as he ran through the lane. Here we go.

[00:08:10]Brazil It's a three to goes. It rattles out, but Lesmond, Fresh with the rebound, but then Lofton knocks it out of his hand.

[00:08:22]Lesmond from a long way Are you kidding me?

[00:08:27]The Princeton There's Five, four seconds differential in the game clock and shot clock.

[00:08:35]Well Chambers to the debate. Oh, he almost turned it over. He puts up a prayer.

[00:08:43]And Lofton gets the rebound. He puts it up. Lesmond, AND THEY GET IT BACK, AND THE USA ARE GOING TO HOLD ON. They are going to win. It was that extra effort from Lofton that got it back.

[00:08:54]Like he did all game long.

[00:09:00]And you can just see by
