France guard Edwin Jackson poured in a game-high 32 points and recognized that the better team won Sunday night.

"Even though we don't have the gold medal around our necks we can leave Greece proud. We made history tonight," said Jackson, who won France's first ever silver medal.

"We did everything we could and played really hard. I don't think we could have done much else to win. We got beat by the better team. And if you get beat by a better team than you have to accept it."
