With apologies to Vanessa Williams, USA “saved the best for last.” A great defensive performance keyed a solid victory in the gold medal game. Here are the final ratings. USA played 27.8 points better than average; 19.37 points better than average on offense 8.44 points better than average on defense. I should have Major League Baseball ratings up tomorrow.
