The USA Basketball women’s national team lost to the WNBA All-Stars in the 2024 All-Star Game, 117-109 in Phoenix on Saturday night.
I know, the Washington Mystics weren’t invited to this party. That said, Team USA will play Belgium, which has Mystics guard Julie Vanloo. And if the Americans had a less-than-stellar performance, then you can expect the Cats to take notice.
And for the Cats, I’m sure they will take notice later Sunday morning.
The thing that gives me cause to pause with Team USA was that they were down by as many as 20 points in this game in the fourth quarter (before the American evened things up later on to keep the score margin more respectable).
