Team USA women's basketball beats Germany at Paris Olympics - ESPN

When playing the Team USA women, you have to deal with their star power, their size and their tremendous offensive talent. But so far in Paris, playing against this group of Americans has been extremely uncomfortable because of their defense.

The international game is always much more physical, and there's often a bit of a culture shock for American teams when they enter that playing field.

But this version of Team USA has embraced it with both arms and used it as a weapon against their competition. Team USA played absolutely smothering and relentless physical defense Sunday against a reasonably strong Germany team that had been 2-0 in pool play.

And despite again not having their best offensive game, that game plan was the basis for another USA victory, 87-68 in Lille, France.
