LOGO WATCH LONDON 2012..Team USA WOMEN's Basketball Team runs by TURKEY led by Team USA's Trio of McCoughtry (18), Charles (16) , and Guard Lindsey Whalen (14).

The Younger Legs of Team USA not that they are Old by any stretch but McCoughtry and Charles have been the Two Constants for Team USA Women's Basketball Team along with steady Guard play from Lindsey Whalen.

Team USA again took another Step in closing in on Gold as they hammer Turkey 89-58. It was their Defensive Tenacity on Turkey as the Turks could do nothing right or the Americans did nothing really wrong. The Score waas only 19-16 after the 1st Frame and that was as close as the Turks would get as Team USA built a 15 point lead, 41-26, at Intermission.

Both Teams played almost to an even 3rd Quarter and then Team USA turned the D up or shall I say Heat to runaway with another +15 Quarter to end the game 89-58. McCoughtry 18, Charles 16, and Whalen 14 as Team USA will face the Czechs on August 3rd.  The Turks were led by Quad Hollingsworth and Birsel Vardarli with 11 apiece. The Turks will play China on August 3rd as Team USA nears the end of Pool Play and the beginning of the Medal Round.
