U.S. Women's Basketball Begins Olympics With Preliminary Round Matchup Against Nigeria

The quest for a seventh-straight Olympic gold medal begins on July 27 as the U.S. women's basketball team faces off against Nigeria. The two teams met last week in Team USA's final exhibition game before the Tokyo Olympics, where the United States snapped a two-game losing streak with a 93-62 win. 2020 WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces and Breanna Stewart of the Seattle Storm led the way, scoring 16 and 14 points respectively.
