USA Women's 3x3 Basketball Team Loses Again

The U.S. women's 3x3 basketball team suffered its third consecutive defeat at the Paris Olympics, losing 17-15 to Australia, which leaves them at the bottom of their pool standings. With only four pool games left, the team's chances of qualifying for the semi-finals appear slim, although they could still advance via the repechage round. Rhyne Howard led the U.S. with eight points, but the team's 14 turnovers compared to Australia's six proved costly. The American men's team has also struggled, losing their first two games in the tournament. The U.S. women will face unbeaten Spain later in the day as they seek their first victory. Frustration mounts within the team as they aim to improve their performance to defend their gold medal.
