Olympics basketball LIVE: USA v Serbia build-up as Victor Wembanyama’s France stun Germany

THREE! Curry has another, he steps back, beating his chest, scooting across the court.

But whatever he can do Avramovic can too, he has 15 points now.

And that’s a bit tasty from James, posting up Bogdanovic… spins, steps. back, bucket! Then the sass, reaching down with his palm, was he suggesting he’s too big for his opponent?

LeBron James dribbles up the court, launching one to Joel Embiid in the corner.

Boos for the Sixers star, given his previous talks to represent France, but that’s a magic bucket and cuts the deficit to 10 points.

Now the turnover from Serbia!

But Ant Edwards misses a wide-open three. And Serbia punish him, Petrusev with the finesse, a little floater opens up the lead once more.

The Serbians are dancing on the court tonight and the crowd crackle in delight as Bogdanovic boogies on the USA and then steps up… THREE!

Steve Kerr takes a swig of water. USA starting to chirp on the court.

Serbia are in a flow, three minutes into the second quarter.

No help for Curry so far, but Serbia are spreading out the points.

Eight Serbia players have scored so far.

That is some drive an the Serbian bench love this one, Jokic is dominant!

The Nuggets star has eight points, six assists and three rebounds and the drive to the bucket leaves a slew of USA bodies bouncing off his broad physique.

OK, this is starting to become a little bit of an issue for the USA.

Serbia moving the ball much better, Jokic the pivot and Bogdanovic able to find a rhythm shooting beyond the arc.

He’s four of five and has nine points. Now Guduric hits a three, Serbia have been deadly from range.

TIME OUT! Milutonovic lays it up, Serbia lead by 14 points. Alarm bells for the USA!

Rebounds: Avranovic, Embiid 2

This is frankly ridiculous from Curry. Another three, he turns away, shaking his head almost in disbelief at his own greatness.

He heads to the bench for a breather, 17 points in just over eight minutes on the court.

THREE! Curry is on fire, he drains a fourth three-pointer. He spins around and faces the USA bench before it can even touch the net.

Unconscious brilliance from Stephen Curry.

But Bogdanovic is also lethal from way out, he’s got himself a couple of three-pointers.

Both teams are lights out so far.

Jokic with the dunk! Serbia off to a hot start here, but so is Curry. It’s a swish, three more for the sharp-shooter.

And another! Three field goals, three buckets.

And another Milutinov replies, it’s raining buckets at the Bercy!

Oh, you thought Curry would cool off? Make that three from downtown already.

‘The King’ is bouncing around the hardwood, this place is alive and ready to witness greatness.

Can Jokic help Serbia to hang with USA’s group of glittering NBA stars?

We’re underway! That didn’t take long, he’d been nailing jumpers for fun in the warm-up and Curry drains a two-pointer to open things up here.
