A near double-double from New York Liberty center Han Xu kept China's chances of an Olympic medal alive.
After the first two stages of group play at the Paris Olympics, the advancement of China's women's basketball team seemed like a tall tale. New York Liberty center Han Xu helped change that narrative on Saturday.
The win potentially allows China to salvage its Olympic trip after dropping each of its first two games in Group A. While the group's top two advancement invitations are spoken for , the Chinese are more or less in the driver's seat when it comes to one of the two clinchers offered to the top two third-place teams. As it stands, China owns the best point differential among current third-place teams at minus-1.
Another run of seven straight to open the second period more or less sealed the deal for the Chinese, who led by 11 at halftime. The advantage never dropped below 10 thereafter, allowing China to simply foster its point differential tally.
