USA vs Chile Game Summary

Team USA struggled to find its rhythm in the first nine minutes, allowing Chile to tie the game at 14. But when the American team, made up of women's college basketball superstars, got their game going, the hosts knew they were in for a long night.

Team USA scored 18 unanswered points from the closing minutes of the first period to the 5:23 mark of the second for a 32-14 advantage. The second-quarter storm left the Chileans behind 46-23 at the half.

Both teams had their best quarter in the third, combining for 55 points, but Team USA scored 33 points to increase the lead to 79-45 approaching the payoff period.

Instead of coasting along, the Americans didn't let up on their defense, almost holding the hosts scoreless in the fourth quarter. Constanza Cardenas knocked down Chile's only basket with a layup, three minutes past the final canto.
