Dee is fouled in the act of shooting.....
Makes both
Score 81 70
 
Serbia scores again, Dee scores 3 to answer, Sue bird assist

Serbia shoots and makes an air ball :)

Turnover and time out.
 
Out of the time out:

USA ball
Score is 84 - 72 USA
with 5 and small change to go
 
Dupree is bumped in the act of shooting....gets an an' 1 and makes it
 
.-.
Griner affects a shot, Moore with a looooooong pass to Dee for 2

Serbia almost loses the ball to BG, scores

89 - 74
 
the clock is our friend. US slows things down...Serbia lulled and Dee makes a 3 - I believe it is her fifth
 
Griner gets a block, whacks the ball upcourt, ball out of bounds....

Time out.
 
Showing a reply of Candace throwing to Dee who gives a big grin and drains a three

Here we go

92 - 74

2:25 minutes to go
 
ooooo Griner a little too casual with the hand offs in this game, turns the ball over twice...

Bet she'll hear about that

Taurasi to Dupree who misses and Maya who bats it in.

game has slowed down.

20 point US lead. 40 seconds to go
 
This final score will in no way show how close this game was
 
Stewey and Sims are in.
Whalen is in....
 
where is the Turkey team? Do they have another thread?

Great game for Serbia. Then their legs gave out.

Depth and timeliness help US - Maya handed it to Diana who handed it to Lindsay. Nice nice work.

If only we could play five quarter games....

I love these announcers - mispronunciations aside. They actually call the game, notice actions and strategies... And yes, they were told - working off an OLD pronunciation guide out of Sacto. But, hard to unlearn what you learn. And can you imagine the US announcers trying to hand the non-US names. Talk about a mangle-fest!

Agreed that the quality of the game calling really trumps any name mispronunciation faux pas for me.
 
USA with 21 turnovers against Serbia. Very careless with the ball. As stated above, the game was much closer than the final score indicates.
Should work on defending the pick and roll (It seems we never have the defender jump out on the pick) .
 
Nothing wrong with announcers.......Serbia has a nice team....Why cry USA won no problem at the end.
 
Well, I know that Diana had at least 5 three point shots...and I know she got a couple more
Lyndsey had a full stat sheet, and Maya did get a double double.
USA outrebounded Serbia as well

I cannot find a box score, but as soon as I do I will clarify.

You could see why...

It makes sense to me that these new players get minutes after the game is decided so that they can continue to work on plays and learn. Eventually they will work into the regular rotation. On tight games like this, particularly a physical one, that can't happen.
 
Top scorer was Dee who shot 5 - 7 from 3
had a total of 20 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, two turnovers and one steal.
Maya had a great game, 3 of 6 from three, 17 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists.
Tina and Brittney had good games, 10 points each, although Tina shot 5 of 12 and BG shot 4 of 5.
Brit passed out of the paint as she was smushed by at least two players each time she got the ball. The rest of their stat sheets were pretty full, too, each with an assist, 7 and 10 rebounds respectively giving Brit a double double,each with a steal and 1 and 2 blocked shots respectively.

Most notable was the turnovers, USA 21 to Serbia's 9 (ouch) and the total number of steals were USA 5 to Serbia 13

Ouch.
 
Three highlights:

1. DT got 20 points
2. Maya scored 17
3. My word, the blond Dabovic for Serbia was unspeakably , breath-takingly beautiful.

Minutes? They played 40 seconds. Makes no sense to bring them in at that point. Sooner, or not at all.
