After a dominant win against Japan to open their Olympic games, the U.S. women’s team was back in action with their second game of the group phase against Belgium. They marched to a strong 87–74 victory.
In February, the United States played Belgium in the qualifying tournament and had their hands full, winning by only two. That was a home game for Belgium in Antwerp and the United States struggled shooting. They made only four of 19 from three-point range and shot only 51.2 percent from two-point range.
