On August 11, local time, in the women's basketball final, the U.S. women's basketball team narrowly defeated France 67:66 and won the last gold medal of the Paris Olympics. The U.S. also tied the total number of gold medals won by the Chinese Olympic delegation of 40, and ranked first in the medal table with the advantage of the total number of medals.

In the previous Olympic women's basketball group stage, the US women's basketball team was the only team to win all three games, and they led by double-digit scores. In the semi-finals, they relied on their excellent defense system and fast offensive rhythm to easily beat the strong Australian team by 21 points, locking in a place in the finals in advance, demonstrating the strength of the "women's basketball dream team".

The French women's basketball team lost one game in the group stage, and was tied with Belgium in the semi-finals, which dragged the game into overtime. In the end, they won with a slight advantage of 81:75 and entered the final.

However, the United States and France teams, which seemed to have a huge gap in strength, had a "tough fight" in the final.
