After losing to the WNBA All-Stars in their first exhibition game, the Americans bounced back against Germany in their final tune-up contest, running away with an 84-57 victory. A'ja Wilson led the way with 19 points and 14 rebounds, and Breanna Stewart added 15 points, six rebounds and five assists. The team shared the ball well, recording assists on 27 of its 30 made field goals.
