The women’s basketball team sweeps past Japan to clinch seventh straight crown.
A rampant United States swept past Japan to their seventh straight women’s basketball crown on Sunday, with Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi collecting their fifth Olympic gold medals to cap remarkable careers. Brittney Griner scored a game-high 30 points with five rebounds and two assists as the hosts were overpowered 90-75 by a team that stretched its Olympic win streak to 55 games dating back to the 1992 semifinals.
