Team USA will play France in the final of the men's basketball as they chase their fourth consecutive gold medal.

The Americans recovered from a shaky start to beat Australia 97-78 in their semi-final.

Australia had led by 15 points in the second quarter before the three-time defending champions launched a 34-point run to overturn the deficit.

France later beat Slovenia 90-89 to reach their first Olympic final since Sydney 2000.

The gold medal game will take place at 2.30pm tomorrow.
