The Women's USA Basketball Team hammered away at Angola's national team as they won 90-38 in the second game of Group A preliminaries.
Coach Geno Auriemma noticed the disparity in the nation's abilities and forced his women to back off and stop fouling Angola's players.
By the second quarter, it was no longer a game as the U.S. team held a 20-point lead at the half. In the third quarter, Team USA began settling for threes. The flow of the game was not delightful.
The game echoed the voice of Dave Chappelle as Prince in one of his skits from "The Chappelle Show." Here's the tape.

With 30 seconds left in the third. The U.S. had built an insurmountable 40-point lead.
They showed a young American in the stands as he was looking at the action. He was decked out with an Uncle Sam hate and a flag, but he was not really into the action. Another gentlemen was shown half excited to be in the game.
