Rio Olympics 2016: USA Women's Basketball sets scoring record in blowout win

Not much time had passed in USA's game against Senegal before you knew which team was going to win.

The U.S. women's team won 121-56 Sunday afternoon in Rio, with every member of the team scoring at least one basket. There was plenty of balance in the blowout victory, as seven members of the team scored in double digits. The team was highly efficient as well, hitting 65.7 percent of their shots, falling just short of their own Olympic record of 66.6 percent.
