The Americans notched their 54th consecutive win on Friday after romping past Serbia, 79-59. They got the ball inside to Brittney Griner (15 points and 12 rebounds) and Breanna Stewart (12 points, 10 rebounds) for easy baskets and could look to do the same against Japan. Griner has shot 65.1 percent from the field through the team’s first five games. The team was not happy about committing 17 turnovers but they made up for it with their staunch defense. “Last dance, baby!” Taurasi yelled as she walked back to the locker room after the team’s semifinal win.
