Charles and Moore help US women's hoops beat France 84-62

NEWARK, Del. (AP) — Tina Charles scored 17 points and Maya Moore added 13 to help the U.S. women's basketball team beat France 84-62 on Wednesday night in an exhibition game.

The game was a rematch of the 2012 London Olympics gold medal game that the Americans won 86-50. This time the U.S. took a half to get going, which wasn't a total surprise as the Americans have had little training since getting together for the first time as a full team Saturday in Los Angeles.

They played Monday night against a U.S. select team, winning by four, before flying across country for this three-game exhibition series.
