Canada scored the first goal, but the USA dominated after that. By halftime the USA led 50-18, and they cruised through the second half to an 82-51 victory.
Kelsey Bone was the USA's top scorer today with 16 points. Nneka was second with 12 and also had four rebounds and two steals.
Here is the game report, box score and quotes from USA Basketball and the FIBA USA picture gallery that has all the USA photos including those from today's game. FIBA has failed to post the game statistics, but they may be available here later.
The USA and Spain meet again tomorrow for the gold medal game. Spain won their first, preliminary-round game 90-86. The USA players are looking forward to playing them again. Nneka says, "Spain is a really good team, but we've gotten a whole lot better since the first game."
Here's an article from FIBA about tomorrow's matchup: "Spanish Flair vs. American Solidity".
