The U.S. women's Olympic team was in danger of dropping its first game when a trio of former UConn stars took control.
The U.S. Select team, a group of young WNBA players, held a two-point lead with a minute to go. Breanna Stewart hit a layup off an assist from Tina Charles to tie the game. Charles also had a pair of key rebounds while Maya Moore was 4 for 4 from a foul line in the final 39.3 seconds to lead the U.S. to an 88-84 victory.
"We were trying to accomplish a lot," said Moore, who tied for the team lead with 11 points.
