LONDON — Angel McCoughtry and the U.S. Olympic women’s team’s depth wore down Turkey.

McCoughtry scored 18 points and Tina Charles added 16 to help the Americans beat the Turkey 89-58 Wednesday night.

Turkey entered the game undefeated and were expected to give the Americans their toughest test in the Olympics so far. The Turks had looked impressive in their first Olympic appearance and said they weren’t intimidated by the top-ranked team in the world despite the U.S. winning its first two games by an average of 38.5 points.

The Turks stayed close for a while. They had an early one-point lead in the first quarter before McCoughtry helped the Americans build a 15-point advantage by the half.

Turkey didn’t waiver, coming within 50-45 in the third quarter before McCoughtry and the reserves put the game away.

Her three-point play started a 13-2 run. On the Americans’ next possession she missed a 3-pointer, but hustled for the offensive rebound and found Maya Moore for an easy lay-in.

Lindsay Whalen then took over, scoring six of the final eight points during the burst to make it 63-47 after three quarters much to the delight of LeBron James, who was in attendance along with some of the other men’s Olympic team.
