PARIS — France is set for a big basketball weekend to cap the Paris Olympics, with both the men's and women's teams playing for gold medals. And they're playing the Americans. It's not surprising the men's team made it to the title game. They lost to the U.S. at the Tokyo Games three years ago in the title game and this time around are led by NBA Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama. For France's women, they'll finally get a rematch with the U.S. that's been a long time in the making. French guard Marine Johannes says it's a perfect matchup.
