Warriors' Stephen Curry: Game-high eight threes for gold
Rotowire
Curry accumulated 24 points (8-13 FG, 8-12 3Pt), five assists, two steals and one rebound across 30 minutes in Saturday's 98-87 win over France in the gold medal game of the Paris Olympics.
Curry was vital for Team USA in securing the gold medal, and France had no answer for the sharpshooter as he made it rain threes. The superstar was crucial down the stretch, with several of his three-pointers coming in the last few minutes of the contest. The 36-year-old had his share of struggles during the Olympics, but he followed a 36-point outing against Serbia on Thursday with a 24-point performance against France. In six Olympic contests, Curry averaged 14.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 23.2 minutes while shooting 47.8 percent from deep.

Curry logged three points (1-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and one rebound in 21 minutes during Team USA's 103-86 win over South Sudan on Wednesday.
