Good Luck Beijing, Day 3

Anne Donovan was really pleased with USA Basketball's defensive effort against South Korea. I guess! They won 92-56 against a team that averages almost 80 points a game.

Candice shot 62.5% for eleven points. She added eight rebounds, two assists and a steal.

Here is the link to the game report from USA Basketball, which includes links to the box score, postgame quotes and a photo gallery.

New Zealand had a disappointing third loss (99-73) against China.  There is no report of the game from New Zealand, but here  is a brief report and the box score from the Good Luck Beijing website.

USA and New Zealand play each other on Wednesday after a day of rest. When asked what it will be like playing against Jillian, Candice replied, "No, there hasn't been any [trash] talking, but it's going to be weird. I've never played against Jill ... I think they're really excited, they've been playing really well so it should be fun."
