London 2012 basketball: US women reach semis, beating Canada 91-48

London: The United States basketball women’s team beat Canada 91-48 on Tuesday to reach the semi-finals of the 2012 London Olympics.

US will play against China or Australia, silver medallists at the last three Olympics..

Diana Taurasi paced the unrelenting US attack with 15 points as five Americans scored in double figures, Reuters reported.

“We had a ton of assists,” guard Lindsay Whalen said about the US total of 29 in the game. “That shows an unselfish team and unselfish players.”

Kim Smith scored 13 points as top scorer for Canada, who have not beaten the US women since a world championship victory in 1975.

Canada coach Allison McNeill did not take long to respond when asked what was the difference in the game.

“The difference would probably be 12 of the best players in the world against 12 players who are not the best players in the world,” said McNeill.

I can’t wait to see the next game, the women’s USA basketball team has not disappointed. Canada’s coach said it best, that Team USA has some of the best players in the world. I’ve enjoyed watching Team USA this year as they won this long time challenge that Canada has had against the team. Thanks to the suggestion of a Dish coworker, I’ve been watching on my phone. I like to watch while I’m on my commute using the Dish Remote Access app. This app allows me to watch both live and recorded shows and set up DVR timers on my phone. I love the convenience of not missing any of my favorite Olympic events!
