Team USA finished off a dominating performance at the Rio Summer Games Saturday, beating Spain in the championship match, 101-72.
Heading into the final, the U.S. women had been overpowering in Rio, winning their previous seven games by an average margin of about 40 points.
The high-scoring game against Spain was the sixth time in their eight Olympic contests in Rio that they had scored more than 100 points.
“Obviously, it was an incredible tournament for us,” said U.S. coach Geno Auriemma.
“It wasn’t as easy as sometimes it looked. Because of our depth and because of the experience that we have on our team, we were able to separate ourselves.”
Earlier, Serbia won bronze by beating France 70-63.
