Team USA have thrashed Nigeria in their Olympic Group A match this evening, scoring an Olympic record 156 points to Nigeria's 73.

The Americans showcased their quality in the opening quarter, producing a number of skilful moves to win it 49-25. The second quarter was a much closer affair, but still the Americans came out on top, eventually running out 29-20 winners, giving them a 78-45 lead at half-time.

The pre-tournament favourites went from strength to strength in the second half, taking the third quarter 41-17 and the final one 37-11 to give them the comprehensive victory.
