Here’s how to watch the men’s and women’s Olympic basketball final

The 2020 Tokyo Games basketball tournaments are full of emotional victories and big surprises. But as the basketball final draws near, rival teams prepare to dodge the odds. The US men’s team, once touted as undefeated, had to work a little harder to stay against the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals, defeating Spain 95:81 in the quarterfinals. As they make their way to the semi-finals against Australia on Thursday 5 August, they seem to be stepping up as they (hopefully) make their way to the Final Four on their way to gold.
