I could not hit a bucket all game, I won’t lie… but I just kept putting them up!<\/p>\n

Bonnie Deas – Australia<\/p>\n

She showed that cream rises to the top by coming up clutch for her team. She drained a huge go-ahead triple in the last minute to seal the deal.<\/p>\n

She also made 12 of 12 from the free-throw line to eventually finish with an all-action 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.<\/p>\n

“I could not hit a bucket all game, I won’t lie. I think most of my points had come from the free-throw line but I just kept putting them up and I have to thank my team for keep feeding me and having confidence in me in those moments,” said Deas.<\/p>\n

“It was a crazy and physical game and Hungary fought with us for all four quarters and in overtime – so respect to them as they are such a great team,”<\/p>\n

“But I am really proud of our girls and it was a great win. Hopefully [we can get a medal] but we just have to now focus on wining this next game in the Semi-Finals.”<\/p>\n
