Team USA won with ease again in pool play, this time taking down Serbia 110-84. They’ve now scored more than 100 points in each of their three games, winning by a margin of 131 points. That’s nearly 44 points per game. This shouldn’t be too much of a surprise for the team looking for its sixth consecutive Olympic gold.

Diana Taurasi had another early start, sinking four three-pointers in the first quarter. She then set a United States Olympic record when she swished her sixth three early in the third quarter, breaking her own record that she had tied earlier this week against Senegal. It’s been a good week to watch the Mercury legend.
Angel McCoughtry then summed up the Americans’ time in Rio when she finished a wide-open 360 layup at the end of the fourth quarter. She finished with 13 points and four rebounds off the bench.
Team USA gets Canada next on Friday.
