The U.S. women's basketball team is battling in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as it tries to win its seventh straight gold medal. After going undefeated in the group stage, Team USA took care of Australia in the quarterfinal round and blew out Serbia by 20 points in the semifinals. Now, they'll face Japan in the gold medal game (Saturday, 10:30 p.m. ET on NBC) to try and capture its seventh-straight gold medal. France and Serbia will face off for the bronze medal.
There was a slight concern entering the tournament, as the Americans dropped a rare exhibition game prior to the start of the Olympics against an Australian team without its best player, Liz Cambage. However, after some fine-tuning, Team USA looks like its humming right along in the tournament.
Keep up with the schedule and standings below as the Tokyo Games continue on.
