The Americans, who improved to a perfect 4-0 in Paris, will next have to go through arguably the world's best basketball player in order to reach the gold medal game.
Here's what to know for the semifinals of the Olympic men's basketball tournament:
Joining Team USA in the semifinals are France, Germany and Serbia. In the quarterfinals, France defeated Canada, Serbia beat Australia, and Germany defeated Greece.
Team USA's semifinal showdown will be a Paris rematch as the Americans will once again face three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic and Serbia.
The United States kicked off Olympic play with a 110-84 rout of Serbia on July 28. But Jokic and Co. have responded with three straight wins, most recently overcoming a 24-point deficit in the quarterfinals to beat reigning bronze medalist Australia in overtime and advance to the semis.
