In its second game of the 2016 Olympics, the USA Women’s basketball team trailed by two early in the first quarter.

Then Brittney Griner started defending, Diana Taurasi began scoring, and the red-white-and-blue never looked back. Griner scored eight of her 10 points in the first quarter, Taurasi scored a team-high 13 points, and Team USA beat Spain 103-63 to remain undefeated in group play.

When the Spaniards began the game with a focus on physical play, the reigning gold medalists turned to Griner to answer fire with fire. She responded with the kind of post presence few can withstand, and the Mercury center’s early aggression kick-started the team’s game-breaking run.

“I was just able to get deep and my teammates were able to get me the ball in a position to score,” Griner told reporters after the game. “I have to give credit to my teammates for finding me. Us post players, we rely on our teammates to find us. But it was good. D (Diana) in the first game had three quick 3s… Today I was able to jump start us.”

After tying her own Olympic record with five three-pointers in the opener against Senegal, Taurasi once again rained from deep with a trio of threes against Spain. The WNBA superstar played a team-high 24 minutes and added two assists and two rebounds to her day, which saw nine USA players score at least eight points.

That balance, she said after the game, is what has been most impressive through two games.

“We just found a way to play that really highlights how good everyone is,” Taurasi said. “Sometimes on teams like this, you can’t do that for whatever reason. But in these first two games we found a way to do that.”

Team USA will play its next game on Wednesday against Serbia (11:30 a.m. MST), which lost to Canada by four on Monday.
