The U.S. women’s basketball team regained its dominant form on Monday following a challenging test in the FIBA World Cup. In Berlin, they surged into the quarterfinals by thrashing Czechia 105-64, thus concluding their group play with a perfect 3-0 record. Their next matchup in the quarterfinals on Thursday features either Hungary or Japan. Should Japan be their opponent, it would be a repeat of the Tokyo Olympic final, which the U.S. won 90-75.
On Sunday, the U.S. team narrowly defeated Italy in what was the closest contest of their 33-game winning streak in FIBA World Cup play, a streak that began in 2006.
Key Performance: Breanna Stewart, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, led with an impressive contribution of 19 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. Notably, all 12 team members scored, and each player participated for at least 13 minutes.
