The United States women’s basketball team opened its quest for an eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal Monday, defeating Japan, 102-76.
In the starting lineup was Diana Taurasi, who took part in the last five of those Olympic championships.
A’ja Wilson (24 points) and Breanna Stewart (22 points) are the key Americans these days — “The two best players in the world,” Taurasi calls them.
