They were booed for every touch, but Australias female basketballers held their nerve to beat Brazil 84-66 in their opening game of the Rio Olympics.The Opals quelled the hostile crowd and overcame an early deficit that had them on the path to a shock defeat at Youth Arena on Saturday night.They were down 12 points early in the second quarter but came out a different side after the halftime break for their sixth consecutive victory over Brazil at an Olympics.Not since 1988 have they lost the first match of an Olympic campaign - the last time they did not win a medal at a Games.Star centre Liz Cambage led the way with 20 points and 14 rebounds, while effervescent guard Leilani Mitchell had 18 points and six assists. Captain Penny Taylor finished with 17 points.Cambage said the booing only served to pump her up.Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it, she told AAP, quoting lyrics by rapper Kanye West.It was always going to be a loud game. The Brazilians are very known for their energy and such passionate culture.This game has been a big focus all year - the home nation, the first game of the Olympics, and Im so happy its out of the way.It was a real grind but we got there in the end.The five-time Olympic medallists, chasing their first Games gold in Brazil, struggled to find the basket in the opening quarter.They trailed 24-14 at the first change, with 10 of those points coming from Cambage.The seventh-ranked Brazilians were shooting at above 80 percent from the field, compared to the Opals 37 percent accuracy.They were just feeling it. This is their home court, they wanted to put on a show and they did, Cambage added.But we kept our cool, and just went back to our game.Mitchell lent a hand with a scoring spree in the second term to trim the deficit to four points, and then helped turn it into a 57-53 lead at the final break.They outscored Brazil 27-13 in the fourth quarter to seal the win.The Opals have just 24 hours before their second match against Turkey on Sunday night (0630 Monday morning AEST).They beat them two years ago to win bronze at the world championships.So we know them pretty well, added Cambage.In London we lost an early game to France and that was a big lesson for me.We dont want to lose any of these pool games. Were not taking anyone too easy. We scout, we learn everything about every team. Weve got to know them inside out to win.
