France vs. USA preview

It's going to take a truly special effort from France to knock off the USA.

The Americans have dominated tournament play. They're a sterling 5-0 to this point and have convincingly won every game.

Team USA's average margin of victory is 18.6 points per game thanks to excellent play at both ends of the court.

The squad is averaging 89.8 points per game while limiting the opposition to a minuscule 71.2 points per contest.

The team has been very balanced offensively with several star players factoring into the mix. A'ja Wilson leads the bunch with 18.2 points per game, ranking fourth in the tournament. Breanna Stewart (18.0) and Jackie Young (11.0) also rank inside the top 30 and have been consistent contributors.

France's resume at the Olympics isn't quite as impressive. It lost to Australia in the group stage and needed a second-half comeback plus overtime to beat Belgium, 81-75, in the semifinal.

The French haven't been anywhere as potent offensively as the USA, averaging 77.4 points per game. Only Gabby Williams (14.8) is averaging double-digit points per contest.

A strong defensive effort is France's best path to victory in this contest. The French have been a very strong defensive outfit, holding opponents to 65.2 points per game.
