Diana Taurasi set the tone for Team USA in the win over Senegal, but it was truly a team effort in the enormous blowout. Brittney Griner, Breanna Stewart, Sylvia Fowles, and virtually the entire roster all contributed and did their part to making it a blowout victory for the Americans.
Spain on the other hand is one of the teams that should be vying for a Bronze medal and could potentially be playing for silver. They defeated Serbia on Monday behind captain Laia Palau, but they’ll be up against it surely against Team USA.
