Paris, France - August 11, 2024  -  The dream of an eighth straight gold medal for the USA Women's Basketball team almost came to a crashing halt thanks to a phenomenal performance by French forward Gabby Williams.  Williams, a star for the Seattle Storm in the WNBA, had a monster game, leading France in scoring with 18 points and showcasing lockdown defense that frustrated Team USA all night.

 

A Tight Battle From Start to Finish

 

While A'ja Wilson and Kahleah Copper ultimately led Team USA to a nail-biting 67-66 victory, France never gave up. Williams' hustle and clutch plays kept the French crowd electric throughout the game, mirroring the tension on the court.  Comparisons to Diana Taurasi's legendary clutch shooting were even thrown around after Williams drained a contested three-pointer with seconds remaining in the game.
