The USA women's basketball team easily topped Japan on Sunday to win its seventh consecutive Olympic gold medal. In the end, they know who they were. Even as the U.S. women’s basketball team navigated through some uneven stretches at these Olympics, they had an identity that they were confident would carry them to a seventh straight gold medal. It was built around the simplest thing in basketball: Feeding the post and letting big players beat little players. And against Japan in Sunday’s gold medal game, it was really all Team USA needed to finish off the tournament with a drama-free 90-75 victory. In a performance as focused and business-like as you’ll ever see on the offensive end, Team USA exploited its tremendous size advantage relentlessly against a Japanese team that didn’t have any answers. Led by post players Brittney Griner and A’Ja Wilson, who towered over a frontcourt with no player taller than 6-foot-1, the U.S. simply could not be stopped from getting the right shots for the right players. It ended with Griner scoring 30 points on 14-of-18 shots, Wilson adding 19 and five blocked shots and the Americans as a team shooting 54 percent. Breanna Stewart was also a major mismatch problem on both ends with 14 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and three blocks. Photo: Brittney Griner reacts to a play in Team USA's win over Japan.
