Team USA delivered an explosive performance at the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Berlin, cruising past Czechia 105–64 on Monday. The decisive victory capped a 3–0 sweep of Group D and extended the Americans’ tournament winning streak to 33 games, sending them directly into the quarterfinals.
Bouncing back from a cold shooting night against Italy, the U.S. offense exploded early, shooting 63.6% inside the arc in the first half to build a commanding 57–33 halftime lead. Breanna Stewart led the charge with a stellar all-around stat line—19 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Six U.S. players reached double figures, highlighting the team’s elite depth and ball movement.
Czechia fought gamely but was ultimately overpowered by the Americans’ speed and size. Eliska Joklova was the lone bright spot for Czechia, scoring a team-high 19 points alongside 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the loss that eliminated her squad from the tournament.
