Summary
The U.S. women’s basketball team storms into the FIBA World Cup final after a gritty 76-66 win over Spain, extending their historic 35-game winning streak since 2006 and inching closer to a fifth straight title. Breanna Stewart led the charge with 16 points, while Kahleah Copper added 13. Despite early struggles—including a nine-point deficit—the Americans clawed back, outscoring Spain 12-0 in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Their dominance at the free-throw line (27-of-35) was key. They now face France in the championship, the same team they narrowly beat in the Paris Olympics. Spain will battle Germany for bronze. This marks the first World Cup showdown between the U.S. and Spain since 2014, when Stewart debuted for Team USA.
