The Olympic action continues in Group A at the women's basketball tournament on Saturday when Puerto Rico takes on China. It should be an intense battle, as both of these teams remain in contention to advance to the quarterfinal round.
Puerto Rico and China each suffered heartbreaking one-point losses to Spain in the group stage. However, China got crushed by Serbia, 81-59, while Puerto Rico lost to Serbia by just three points. As a result, the Puerto Ricans have a much better total point differential (minus-4) than China (minus-23).
That said, Puerto Rico and China are both sitting at 0-2 in the Group A standings, and only the winning team has a chance to advance past the group stage. China has the size, shooting and experience to get past Puerto Rico, but Puerto Rico has the defense and speed to scrap its way into the next stage.
