Message: [QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 2279166, member: 6931"] Well, it certainly was a thriller, and both teams played well. Russia was remarkably consistent in their execution over the course of the entire 40 minutes. They played to their strengths, which of course was the inside game and getting their best player a touch on almost every possession. To their credit, nothing the U.S. did distracted them from the task at hand. As for USA, it was an outstanding individual performance by Carter. But this one will sting, and not just because we were up by 6 at the half. I thought the difference was Dangerfield going stone cold with her shooting in the final 15 minutes, and most critically, the six or seven blown layups by Holmes at point blank range over the course of the entire game.
