The USA Women's Basketball team took home Gold in the 2016 Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Completely dominating the field by a margin of 37.2, 4x Olympian Diana Taurasi lead in scoring with 24.3 PPG. She broke her own Olympic record for most made three's in a game with six and shot 57% from behind the arc . The lowest margin of victory for Team USA was only a 19 point win over France in the semi-finals round. I won't go full in-depth into the games because the network has already covered each game on our Youtube page, so I will only give a quick recap of the final scores for Team USA.
Before heading to Rio, USA played in four exhibition games, including a great match up between rising USA stars on the Select team.
