Berlin Blowout As The U.S. Hammers Hungary By 52
After the hiccup against Italy, the U.S. has played extremely well
In a dominant performance at the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, the U.S. Women's National Team overpowered Hungary with a commanding 108-56 victory. This was the largest margin of victory in the tournament thus far, surpassing the previous high of 52 points. The U.S. team maintained a 24-point lead throughout the game, never allowing Hungary to regain momentum.
Their defensive prowess was particularly notable, as they forced a team-high 27 turnovers, resulting in 44 points off defensive stops. Just three players failed to secure at least one steal for the U.S., illustrating the team's unyielding defensive discipline. Notably, FIBA's recent power rankings shifted France to the top spot and the U.S. to second, providing additional motivation for Team USA.
However, before facing France, the U.S. must first contend with Spain, a formidable opponent. The next matchup between the U.S. and Spain will take place on Saturday, with the U.S. team poised to continue their impressive run in the tournament.
