Team USA roster wanted to get as much practice in as possible before heading to the Olympics. They were playing defense and running sets against a group that is most likely the most talent they’ll face.
The all stars roster either saw it as an audition for the Olympic roster (Angel said that), or had some beef with the selection committee (Arike), so extra motivation.
