## Resource

The U.S. women’s basketball team is one win away from history, storming into the FIBA World Cup final after a gritty 76-66 victory over Spain — extending their undefeated streak to 35 games since 2006. Led by Breanna Stewart’s 16 points and Kahleah Copper’s 13, the Americans clawed back from a deficit, exploding for 12 of the first 14 points in the fourth quarter. This matchup marked a full-circle moment for Stewart, who debuted with the national team in 2014 — the same year the U.S. beat Spain for gold. Spain’s physical defense forced 35 free throws, which the U.S. converted at a blistering 77% clip. Now, they’ll face France in the title game — a rematch of their Olympic showdown from 2024 — aiming to tie the former Soviet Union’s record of five straight titles.
