WBB: USA advances to Semis

[ChrisWellbaum]

USA used a 17-0 first half run to take control of the game and cruised to a 79-55 win over Australia. The vets played better, helping the Americans get off to a fast start for the first time in the Olympics. A'ja Wilson only played 16 minutes because of the blowout, and finished with 10 points and 4 rebounds. Breanna Stewart and Chelsea Gray did most of the damage: Stewart had 23 points and Gray had 7 points and 8 assists.

USA plays Serbia Friday morning at the usual 12:40 time, but it looks like the game will be on NBC. Win and they play for gold Saturday night, lose and they play for bronze Saturday morning.
