The U.S. women's basketball team extended its Olympic win streak to 58 games.

Team USA will face Nigeria ( 3:30 p.m. ET) in the final quarterfinal of the day .

The D'Tigress went 2-1 in their group for their first Olympic victories since 2004 .

Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson are the first duo in U.S. women's basketball history to each average at least 20 points through the first three games of a single Olympics .

A hotter night for Nigeria could make for a closer rematch in one possible gold-medal-game scenario.

Diana Taurasi and Chelsea Gray have scored 44.2% of Team USA's points, which if maintained would be a Team USA record.

The U.S. women are poised to do what they've done in each of the past seven Olympics and bring home gold.

Spain is the only other team to go undefeated in the group stage, winning its three games by a combined total of 10 points.
