Ker: I didn't expect this, we had exactly that much time to come back and win

The American "dream team", composed of the best that the NBA currently has, was on the edge of the abyss in the semi-finals of the Olympic tournament against Serbia.

For almost the entire match, LeBron James and company were in a big gap, losing by 17 points, but with a turnaround in the very finish, they reached the final, where the host France will be waiting for them.

"A tough match, we expected that. Serbia is a very good team with a good coach. It's hard to beat a team three times, twice in this tournament. They played a phenomenal game, I didn't expect three triples by Avramović in the first half," said American coach Steve Kerr.

"He decided our momentum, the pressure did its job, I always feel sorry for the team that loses, throughout my career. I saw Serbian players cry, they did everything, they gave everything to win, but they didn't succeed. This is one of the best basketball games. I was worried during the match. Nikola Jokić is the best player on the planet, and the Serbian national team is always among the best in the world. We lost for a long time, but we had exactly that much time to come back and win," Ker concluded.
