Group A

Angola 47 - 82 Czech Rep

China 66 - 114 USA

Croatia 65 - 70 Turkey

A few days after the U.S. men's basketball team shattered the Olympic scoring record for points in a game, the women put on their own show.

The U.S. women's team tied their own Olympic scoring record Sunday with a 114-66 rout of China.

Diana Taurasi scored 22 points and the women matched the 114 points they scored against Spain in 1992, but fell well short of the women's Olympic mark of 128 points set by Brazil in 2004.

Britain won their first Olympic basketball game in 64 years and did so in style by thumping China 90-58 on Monday to the roars of the home crowd in their last contest of the London Games.

The only other Olympic victory for Britain came in the 1948 London Games when after finishing 0-5 in the group, they beat Ireland in a classification game that put them in 20th place.
