France tops host Germany 86-64 to reach women’s FIBA World Cup final against US or Spain

Gabby Williams' 22-point, five-rebound performance propelled France to an 86-64 victory over host Germany, securing their place in the women's FIBA World Cup final. The win marked the first semifinal appearance for both teams since the format debuted in 1986. Despite a resilient Germany, France's dominance was evident, as they scored over 90 points in each of their four games.

Germany, a four-time defending champion and tournament favorite, will face either Spain or the United States, the latter being the current favorite, in Sunday's championship clash.
