    Happy Friday to Rhyne Howard and to Rhyne Howard only.

    For days, we’ve wondered why Team USA 3×3 basketball teams have been so bad. There are a number of factors, but suddenly, things are grooving and moving right along. The women’s team lost its first three games of pool play but has now won three straight thanks to some seriously gritty effort.

    The team won two matchups Friday, including a back-and-forth thriller with Canada that went into overtime. During extra play, Canada scored very quickly by drawing the U.S. to one area and backdoor cutting to the basket for an easy score. But on the next play — with a body all over her — Rhyne Howard DRAINED a game-winning two-point heave. SWISH. BOOM. BANGGGG. EAGLE SCREECHES. HELLO, USA. HELLO, HUGE WIN.

    The shot was absolutely filthy and simply incredible because Howard has been ice-cold from two-point land, but she nailed a shot when it counted.

    Fans were super impressed with the bucket and started dropping all kinds of celebratory tweets on social media.
