The Team USA women have been so dominant in the Olympics over the past 30 years that even playing a close game causes a reaction.
Belgium put a rare scare into the Americans Thursday, pulling to within four points in the second half before Team USA established control en route to an 87-74 victory.
It was the team's 57th consecutive Olympic win and will assure them a spot in next week's quarterfinals. But this one will be a little more memorable than others and offered a lesson that Team USA will need to tighten its form to assure an eighth straight gold.
