It wasn't a 54-point win, but it was more than good enough.
The U.S. women's basketball team cruised past Nigeria, 88-74 in the Olympic quarterfinal round on Wednesday. With the win, USA advances to face Australia in the semifinal round on Friday.
USA previously beat Nigeria, 100-46 in qualifying. Nigeria kept Wednesday's game considerably closer early and trailed USA 31-27 early in the second quarter. But USA closed the half on a 21-6 run and never looked back.
The win is USA's 59th straight in Olympic play, a streak that dates back to the 1996 Games in Atlanta.
