Staking its claim to rank among the greatest Olympic dynasties ever assembled, the United States women's basketball team captured its sixth consecutive Olympic gold medal and eighth in nine Games on Sunday. An overwhelming 101-72 victory over Spain in the final stretched the US Olympic win streak to 49 games since a 1992 semi-final loss. Diana Taurasi and Lindsay Whalen led the US squad with 17 points each while Maya Moore added 14.
