China takes on Australia at 11:15 a.m. ET in the women's quarterfinal games at the 2012 London Olympic Games Tuesday.
China is just coming off a defeat to the U.S., where the Americans made history by setting new Olympic records.
China got the scoring started early, hitting 10 of its first 15 shots. China led 28-25 with 1:25 left in the first quarter after Song Xiaoyun hit a deep 3-pointer from way behind the top of the key.
China was able to hang with the U.S. for a quarter behind its own hot shooting before the Americans turned the game into a blowout with a huge second quarter run.
Diana Taurasi started the spurt with a layup and Angel McCoughtry converted two turnovers into easy lay-ins to end the first quarter.
The U.S. kept the burst going in the second period getting layup after layup off turnovers. The defensive pressure was relentless.
Taurasi scored 22 as the women matched the 114 points they scored against Spain in 1992, and fell well short of the women's Olympic mark of 128 points set by Brazil in 2004.
Six players scored in double figures and 10 of the 12 had an assist.
The band of All-Stars also set American Olympic records with 33 assists that led to another team milestone of 52 baskets.
