More on the Opals win over Team USA:

Coach Donovan: "The 3-point line in the second half just killed us, especially in the third quarter, but also in the last minute of the game. "

Tina Thompson does not want to feel like this again, adding "it's a good thing that it's now and not in September or not in ‘08."

Thompson and Candace Parker were named to the All-Opals World Challenge Team along with MVP Lauren Jackson from Australia, China's Miao Lijie and Taipei's Feng-Chun Chiang.
