6:15 to put the first points on the board for her side, but the USA continued to struggle to score and by the end of the first stanza, trailed 16-7. Thirty-eight seconds into the second
period Brazil's Thamara Silva De Frietas put her team up by 11 points, 18-7. With shots not falling, the U.S.
turned to its stingy defense, and with the defensive heat turned up, the USA's offense started clicking. Graves knocked down a shot on an
inbounds pass from Mabrey at 9:01 for the first two of an eventual string of 19 unanswered points. Five players scored in the run, which saw Mabrey connect on a 3-pointer at 5:00 to knot the game at
100
18-apiece. Following a Brazil 24-second violation Graves hit one of two attempts from the line at 4:15 to give the U.S. its first lead of the game, 19-18, and the red, white and blue never again trailed. The run, which featured three 3-pointers from Mabrey in a 10-0 sequence, ended with a Tuck put-back at 1:50, and the USA's lead stood at 26-18. Brazil finally ended its scoring
drought with a 3-pointer from Estela Gregorio. After a traditional 3-point play from Stewart, Gregorio struck again from beyond the arc and at halftime the U.S. held a 29-24 margin. Coming out of the locker room fired
up, the USA scored the first six points of the third quarter, but Brazil hit another three to keep the game close, 35-27, at
7:12. Countering with another mini-spurt of seven, including five from Mabrey, at 5:26 the USA led 42-27 and finally had some breathing room. After a Brazil bucket at 4:30, the
U.S. outscored the South Americans 8-2 to close the third quarter up 50-31. The fourth quarter saw a few spurts
from Brazil, but the USA punctuated its victory with a 10-0 run en route to collecting gold. In the end, the U.S. improved its
shooting percentage to 40.6 (21-48 FGs) overall and made 31.3 percent (5-16 3pt FGs) from beyond the arc, while limiting Brazil to 31.5 percent (17-54 FGs) on the night. Further, the USA forced 23 turnovers, and outrebounded Brazil 48-33.
