(Newser) – The once-unbeatable US men’s basketball team lost its opener Sunday in the Tokyo Olympics, falling decisively to France. Team USA had won 25 straight games, starting in 2004, and three straight gold medals. A fourth is still possible, ESPN reports, but there weren’t many encouraging signs Sunday in the 83-76 loss. France’s Evan Fournier, who led scorers with 28 points, was not intimidated by the Americans’ past success.
