It was always expected and yet sometimes in doubt but the U.S. women's 3x3 team will take home the gold medal in the inaugural Olympic event.
The U.S. team—made up of Chicago Sky center Stefanie Dolson, Allisha Gray of the Dallas Wings and Las Vegas Aces guards Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young—led the entire way in an 18-15 win over the Russian Olympic Committee in Wednesday's final.
Plum, the No. 1 pick in the 2017 WNBA draft, proved to be too much for the Russian women with five points just a year after tearing her Achilles playing 3x3.
