Team USA Dominates Hungary 108-56 at 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup

Team USA secured a commanding victory over Hungary in their quarterfinal match at the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup, winning 108-56. The game was a strong statement by the American team, who set new records with the highest points ever scored in a World Cup quarterfinal and an impressive 31 assists. This win brought them closer to their goal of a fifth straight gold medal.

Napheesa Collier led the scoring with 19 points in just 15 minutes. Five other players also reached double figures, with every player on the team contributing at least one basket. The game was a stark contrast to their earlier close match against Italy. Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, who had been rivals in college, played well together once they entered the game, showing great chemistry.

Clark finished with 10 points and nine assists, while Reese added nine points and six rebounds. Their teamwork in the first quarter helped build a significant lead. Paige Bueckers, Rhyne Howard, Kahleah Copper, and Jackie Young also made important contributions, with the bench playing a key role throughout the game.

Team USA dominated on both ends of the court, shooting 59% from the field and outscoring Hungary in the paint by 52-16. They turned Hungary’s turnovers into easy baskets, leading to a comfortable halftime lead of 59-30. Hungary struggled, especially with star player Dorka Juhasz scoring only two points on poor shooting.

This victory extended Team USA’s winning streak at the World Cup to 34 games since their last loss in 2006. They will face either Australia or Spain in the semifinals, aiming for another gold medal.
