On August 10, Beijing time, the final of the Olympic men's basketball tournament was held between the United States men's basketball team and the host country France men's basketball team. The United States men's basketball team will strive to win the Olympic championship for the fifth consecutive time, while the French men's basketball team will strive to use its home advantage to avenge the defeat three years ago and win the championship for the first time in history, creating the best record in 88 years.

The U.S. men's basketball team won four of the five previous games, but faced a huge challenge in the semifinals. Facing Serbia led by Jokic again, the U.S. men's basketball team, which had won by 26 points in the group stage, was 17 points behind Serbia in the semifinals. In the final quarter of the game, the U.S. men's basketball team relied on the performance of Embiid, James and Curry to finally complete the reversal. This is also the strongest challenge the U.S. men's basketball team has encountered in the Olympics in recent years, and they were almost pulled down.

The French men's basketball team had previously performed stumblingly. In the group stage, the French men's basketball team almost lost to Japan and was defeated by Germany. However, when facing Germany again in the semi-finals, France relied on extremely good defense to make Germany's top star Schroeder only 6 of 18 shots and Wagner only 4 of 10 shots. Although Wen Banyama only made 4 of 17 shots, his performance on the defensive end was a perfect score. In the end, the French men's basketball team narrowly won 73-69 and entered the finals again.
