Stewart led a balanced offense as the Americans beat Australia, 85-64, on Friday, Aug. 9, in the semifinals to extend their Olympic winning streak to 60 consecutive games dating back to the 1992 Barcelona Games.
PARIS — Breanna Stewart and the U.S. women’s basketball team cruised to a familiar place — the Olympic gold medal game.
And the team didn’t disappoint some notable onlookers, including Sue Bird, Dawn Staley, Kevin Durant and Vanessa Bryant and her children. “The group that’s going to be out there is going to be a little more ready and rested to be able to give everything they had,” Reeve said. In the end, the U.S. once again denied the Australians a chance at a gold medal in what’s been a one-sided affair between the teams. The Opals have never beaten the U.S. in Olympic competition, losing in the gold medal game in 2000, ’04 and ’08.
