Taylor out, Jarry back in.

Maya misses a three.
 
Augustus gets charged with pushing off on a post up. Low scoring game. Still 19-18.
 
Whalen hits on a fast break. Then hits another layup on a fast break and gets fouled.

I know a lot of people think she should start, but it's so great to have her come off the bench just as the other team is wearing down a bit.

Nneka and Angel in after the timeout.
 
Whalen picks up her second foul, Bird back in.
 
Jarry with a nice step through to score. Angel travels. Why does she always have to go 90 miles an hour as soon as she gets in? Very annoying.
 
Angel out of control again, almost loses the ball off her foot and picks up a charge. Seriously. Calm down.
 
No help from Nneka and Phillips hits a layup. 24-22 USA.

Nneka scores on a post up. 26-22 USA.
 
Charles picks up her second foul. AUS in bonus.
 
Charles gets an offensive board an putback. Jarry airballs, Charles hits a fadeaway seven-footer.
 
Team looks better when Whalen is in the game
 
Griner with a terrible half - got off wrong and couldn't get it back together. Charles also started bad but finished very strong. This is what is meant by experience. Griner should have a good second half if she gets her head right during the break.
Whalen was very strong, but I think Sue played a very nice half as well - it is that calming influence she has that kept the USA momentum going. DT had a bad half as well - she should have taken a couple of jumpers instead of some ill advised passes - sometime she is to unselfish.

Griner sucks.

It was a bad half of basketball for her. She was not ready to be pushed like Tolo did. That second foul prevented her from staying in the game and getting a chance to adjust. Hopefully Geno coaches her up at halftime.
 
I liked Dupree's patience with the ball - other forwards and posts would do well to follow suit. (Tina calmed down as the half wore on.)
 
The US starting to play too much one-on-one. Two trips down the court with only one person touching the ball before a shot.
 
AUS making a run. US lead down to 6 with 2:45 to go in the 3rd.
 
Liking Mitchell, doing a good job for the Aussies.
 
61-52 end of 3rd.

Moore with 13, Charles 12. Griner 2.
 
Whalen playing an incredible game. I like Nneka's energy, also. The US needs to continue to get into the paint and not settle for jumpers.
 
71-57 with 5:30 t/g. Tina with 18 pts.
