United States vs. Puerto Rico final score: Shakira Austin has double double in 106-42 win

The USA Basketball women’s national team continued its undefeated play with a 106-42 win over Puerto Rico on Friday morning in Sydney for the FIBA Women’s World Cup.

Washington Mystics center Shakira Austin was the star today, scoring 19 points and grabbing 10 rebounds off the bench.

The USA never trailed in this game, just like in their first game against Belgium yesterday and the Americans held the Puerto Ricans to just 21 percent shooting while shooting 54 percent themselves.

Austin was also able play 21 minutes tonight because Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson still sat this game out due to travel from the WNBA Finals.
