The former duo for the New Orleans Pelicans both win their second gold medal for Team USA.
teammates Jrue Holiday and Anthony Davis are gold medal winners.....again. Team USA captured the gold with a tightly contested matchup against the French National Team. The Americans pulled away late, thanks to a Steph Curry flurry in the fourth quarter, and defeated the Frenchmen 98-87 to capture the fifth straight Olympic Gold Medal for Team USA.
Anthony Davis was just a rookie with New Orleans the first time he joined Team USA in 2012. The former number-one overall pick had not suited up for New Orleans before being thrust into Olympic play because of injuries to key centers that year. Davis played in seven games, averaging 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds a game.
The duo played four seasons together in New Orleans, making the playoffs once together. They eventually lost in the second round of the playoffs to the Golden State Warriors, but that 2017-2018 Pelicans team marked the last one to advance past the first round of the playoffs.
