U.S. women roll
BARUERI, Brazil – Diana Taurasi scored 15 points and Tina Thompson added 12 to help the undefeated United States overpower France 76-41 on Sunday in the second round of the Women’s World Basketball Championships.
The United States is 5-0 overall, but credited with a 4-0 mark in Group F because only first-round games against advancing teams count in the second-round standings.
The victory pushed the United States’ World Championship winning streak, which dates to the 1994 bronze-medal game, to 24, and also extended the string of victories in the Olympics and Worlds to 48.
