With a 46-game Olympic win streak and five consecutive gold medals, the US women's basketball team will be a prohibitive favourite when medal-round knockout matches start Tuesday. "There are so many great players doing great things, it's scary how good this team could become by the gold medal game," said US forward Seimone Augustus. Diana Taurasi led the US women with 14.2 points a game with Tina Charles adding 12.2 and Brittney Griner contributing 11.6.
