Team USA Downs Hungary 108-95 to Reach FIBA World Cup Semifinals

It sends the Americans to the semifinals to play the winner of Belgium versus Germany.

Overview

  • The United States beat Hungary 108-95 in the quarterfinal at Berlin Arena on Thursday, Sept. 10, advancing to the semifinals.
  • Multiple U.S. players finished in double figures, with Breanna Stewart and Paige Bueckers among the scorers who helped build and preserve a lead through four quarters.
  • Hungary was paced by Dorka Juhász, who remained the team’s main offensive threat after a qualification win over Japan that put Hungary into the knockout round.
  • Team USA’s rotations were tested by the late pre-tournament withdrawals of A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum, a development that has required deeper contributions from reserves off the bench.
  • The game was widely available to U.S. viewers on TNT and streaming partners including HBO Max and Courtside 1891 via DAZN, and the U.S. keeps its 33-game World Cup win streak alive dating back to 2006.
