The U.S. women’s basketball team showcased their strength on Monday, bouncing back impressively in the FIBA World Cup. They had recently faced one of their toughest challenges in two decades. The team advanced to the quarterfinals in Berlin by defeating Czechia with a significant score of 105-64. This victory marked the completion of their group play with a 3-0 record.
Looking ahead, the U.S. will compete against Hungary or Japan in the upcoming quarterfinals on Thursday. A match against Japan would serve as a rematch of the Tokyo Olympic final, where the U.S. secured victory with a score of 90-75.
Their recent win against Italy on Sunday added to their remarkable 33-game winning streak in FIBA World Cup play, a streak that started in 2006. The game against Italy was particularly noteworthy for being the closest contest in this ongoing streak.
