Australia's women rallied late to overtake Belarus 74-66 in the Rio Olympic basketball on Saturday to win their group undefeated and avoid the powerful USA in the knockout rounds.
Elizabeth Cambage had 17 points and Penny Taylor 11 for the Opals, who had to come from behind for the second straight game.
Belarus led by as much as 13 midway through the third quarter, but Cambage scored nine of her points down the stretch to help bring Australia back.
"Even though for us there wasn't anything on the line, we want to keep getting better," said Taylor.
