Suddenly it's time for the Paralympics Closing Ceremonies, and "other stuff" has prevented me from posting news about the US women's paralympic basketball team.

Congrats to the women who defended their Athens gold, beating Germany, 50-38. Sounds like the team's been sitting in some Anne Donovan meetings:

“We’re known for our good chair skills,” said captain Patty Cisneros, who like the rest of the first unit played sparingly after the first quarter, as the second (and press-oriented) lineup was thriving.

“We didn’t shoot that well in the tournament,” she said. “This is definitely a tournament that showcased our defense.”

You can catch up on the final games here, and some great photos here.
