Team USA won big again, this time by 30 over previously undefeated Canada, 81-51.
USA basketball’s Breanna Stewart converts an alley-oop layup from Sue Bird in big win over Canada
It wasn’t the dunk we saw her make in practice, but it was fun to watch nonetheless.
Diana Taurasi made it rain from deep again as she converted on four of her five three-point attempts, and Maya Moore contributed 12 points of her own in a balanced attack from America. Those two were the team’s highest scorers, and six players scored eight or more points
The Canadians played well on the defensive end for the first quarter, but couldn’t match the Americans’ depth. All but one of the 12 players on Team USA scored with the lone exception being point guard Sue Bird, who instead dished nine assists including this one to a cutting Breanna Stewart for an alley-oop layup.
The Americans will look to finish pool play undefeated as they take on Team China on Sunday at 11:15 a.m. The Chinese are 1-3 coming off an eight-point loss to Serbia.
