Team USA Routs Hungary to Reach World Cup Semifinals

Team USA routed Hungary 108-56 in the quarterfinals of the FIBA Women's World Cup on Thursday in Berlin, advancing to Saturday's semifinal and extending the Americans' World Cup winning streak to 34 consecutive games, a run that dates to a 2006 semifinal loss to Russia. The United States never trailed, outscoring Hungary in every quarter. The Americans jumped to a 36-12 lead after the first period and carried a 59-30 advantage into halftime before pulling away for a 52-point victory, their largest margin of the tournament. Napheesa Collier led the Americans with 19 points and six rebounds, matching Breanna Stewart's tournament high set earlier in the week against Czechia. Every player on the U.S. roster scored, and five finished in double figures, with Rhyne Howard adding 15 points off the bench. Caitlin Clark contributed 10 points and a game-high nine assists in 20 minutes, while Angel Reese had nine points and Paige Bueckers added seven. The Americans shot 59 percent from the field and made 12 of their 23 three-point attempts.
