Team USA Routs Hungary Behind Clark-Reese Chemistry

The United States women's basketball team delivered a record-setting performance to advance to the semifinals of the FIBA Women's World Cup, defeating Hungary 108-56 in Berlin on Thursday, September 10, 2026. The dominant victory, which set records for points and assists in a World Cup quarterfinal, showcased the developing on-court partnership between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. The Americans jumped to a 36-12 lead after the first quarter and never looked back, shooting nearly 60% from the field as a team. Napheesa Collier led the scoring with 19 points, while Clark contributed 10 points and a game-high nine assists. Reese added nine points, six rebounds, and three assists. The team's ball movement was exceptional, recording 31 assists on 40 made field goals. A key highlight was the synergy between Clark and Reese, former college rivals who are now teammates for the first time at a senior international event. The pair connected on several plays, including a pick-and-roll that ended with a Reese layup to close the first quarter. Their chemistry was evident both on the court and on the bench, where they were seen laughing together.
