The all-muscle U.S. Redeem Team continues its romp through Olympic basketball this morning, closing out its first half against Angola 55-37. It’s a guilty pleasure to be able to watch these guys play live at 8 a.m., but that’s the beauty of the Olympics — 17 days of round-the-clock sports. 

The U.S. women’s team also opened with a 45-point demolition of China on Monday, an easy win that included an impromptu dunk contest between Candace Parker, Sylvia Fowles and Lisa Leslie.
