USA-Opals!

[flatcoatmom]

Looks like US using more of the shot clock - Seimone hits a pretty 2, then Maya gets a steal at the other end and takes it all the way. Would have been a great place for Maya to dunk!

Seimone for 3...Whalen experiences the Cambage effect...Mayaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Possibly the best post of few words I've seen in a while

Tina doing a great job bothering Camabage right now.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Tina working Cambage over now...she's not moving her feet anymore

 

[alexrgct]

Lead for Team USA has ballooned to 11!

 

[flatcoatmom]

Tina seems to have caught fire, at least defensively - just hit 2 free throws. 73-62.

 

[OneTrickPony]

73-62 US

[OneTrickPony]

[Vowelguy]

Bird for 3! It's over.

 

[OneTrickPony]

AUS shots are short...they're gassed...

 

[alexrgct]

Aussies are totally gassed. Depth of US finally broke down a spirited Opal effort.

 

[flatcoatmom]

Parker hits one of 2 free throws

 

[OneTrickPony]

70-66...bird strips Lauren...howdy teammate!

 

[flatcoatmom]

[alexrgct]

[OneTrickPony]

Dee shorton a 3...but we get the balland tina goes over Liz for 2

 

[flatcoatmom]

Opals shooting just 23% in second half. US up 15 after Tina hits a 2 over Cambage.

 

[OneTrickPony]

81-68...start breathing everyone...

 

[alexrgct]

Dee misses a 3 - US up by 13. Can I breathe yet?

Yes. But the final score won't properly reflect what a war this game was.

 

[ThisJustIn]

I.am.so.nauseous!

 

[OneTrickPony]

Geno's adjustments were effective against Cambage...no doubt aided by her lack of conditioning
