After a rocky start to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the U.S. men's basketball team has rounded into form and will play France in the gold medal game. That contest, along with more than a half dozen track and field finals, make Friday a day to watch in Tokyo.
Here's everything you missed from Thursday, Day 14 of the Olympic Games -- including the continuation of Team USA women's basketball's historic run -- and what to follow on Day 15.

Women's beach volleyball
The U.S. claimed its fourth gold in the last five Olympics with a win over Australia late Thursday. April Ross and Alix Klineman -- the Southern California natives nicknamed the "A-Team" because their first names both start with the letter A -- won their seventh consecutive match, with this one coming in straight sets, 21-15, 21-16. This was Ross' second Olympic medal and first gold, while it's Klineman's first. Former "A-Team" member Mr. T approves.
Women's basketball
Team USA throttled Serbia, 79-59, in Thursday's semifinal and is now one win away from its seventh consecutive gold medal. Brittney Griner led the squad with 15 points and 12 rebounds, while Breanna Stewart added a double-double of her own with 12 points and 10 boards. The Americans are on the verge of history, as only one Olympic team before them -- in any sport -- has won seven gold medals in a row (U.S. men's basketball, 1936-68). The win over Serbia was Team USA's 54th straight. The Americans will battle the winner of France-Japan in the gold medal game on Saturday at 10:30 p.m. ET.
Women's volleyball
The American's found success on the indoor volleyball court in addition to the sand, as it defeated Serbia in straight sets to reach the gold medal game. Team USA will play the winner of Brazil-South Korea on Sunday at 12:30 a.m. ET. The Americans are the world's No. 1-ranked indoor volleyball team and are expected to win gold.
