Tokyo-Sana
The US men's basketball team lost at the Olympic Games in the Japanese capital, Tokyo, to the French team in its first defeat at the Olympic Games since 2004.
Reuters reported that France outperformed the United States for the group stage in Saitama, thanks to 28 points from Yvan Fournier.
This is the first time that the United States, which has won Olympic gold six times in the last seven editions of the Games, has lost two consecutive basketball games since the professional participation with the national team began in 1992.
