Team USA still has a few glaring issues, mainly their inability (today at least) to finish in transition, but the three pointers started to fall and the defense was dominant.

In all, this team can let one aspect of their game and still completely dominate, which should keep the rest of the world nervous, even Liz Cambage, the amazing dunking Aussie.

That's all for me tonight, folks. Keep it with B/R all Olympics long for some ferocious live blogs and constant updates.

Lindsay Whalen gets two fast-break opportunities and misses both subsequent lay-ups. It seems like they've missed at least six of those this game, and that's being conservative.

Should they make more of these transition buckets they'd easily be up by 40 points.

Angel McCoughtry puts in a lay-in off an offensive rebound.

USA 86, Czech Republic 55 with 3:10 left in the fourth.

It's looking like hack-a-Parker in the post as Candace makes it to the line yet again, this time knocking down both her free throws.

Tamika Catchings extends the US lead with a long jumper, but Czech Republic gets the two points back with the give-and-go to Burgrova.

The quarter comes to an end with both sides missing three-pointers, the buzzer blowing with the US down after the first quarter for the first time in these Olympics.

These Czech women have hit six of their 11 three pointers compared to just three of their 11 two-pointers. The US team is going to have to force them to put the ball on the floor with some more pressure around the perimeter.

Czech Republic 26, USA 24 after the first quarter.

The US defense fails to pressure the three point line, leading to an open three from Katerina Bartonova.
