After Wembanyama hit a three-pointer to narrow the margin to single digits, Fournier finally found his crosshairs. Davis helped the United States hold the lead with one offense and one defense, Durant countered with a pie in the air, and Edwards blew up the basket with both hands to extend the margin to double digits again.

At the critical moment, Durant solved the problem at the top of the arc and quenched his thirst with a three-point shot. With Holiday hitting another three-pointer, the margin was back in double digits. France chased back-to-back points under the basket through a pass, and James blew up the basket to return with two more points. France made mistakes on the counter-attack, and time was running out. Colo hung a screen at the top of the arc to chase down the basket, and Yabusela was fouled for a steal. Wembanyama made a self-throw under the basket to narrow the gap to three points.
