Televised live on NBC in primetime today. Kobe & LeBron in the house.
Kerri & Misty put an absolute beat-down on Talita-Renata, 21-12, 21-14. There was a stretch at the beginning of the second set that was mildly competitive, aided by a very questionable lift call on Walsh at around 11-11, then the Brazilian team just fell apart with a myriad of hitting errors around the Walsh block.
The first set was not remotely close, with a 19-8 score at one point. The Brazilians had to play perfect and make several digs just to get a rare sideout.
The only concern is Misty was playing with a cold/virus. Hopefully it improves before the gold medal final.
