## Resource

The U.S. women’s basketball team is headed to their fifth straight FIBA World Cup final, powered by Breanna Stewart’s 16-point performance in a hard-fought 76-66 semifinal win over Spain — a victory that keeps their historic championship streak alive and brings them one step closer to tying the Soviet Union’s all-time record. Spain fought valiantly, jumping out to a nine-point lead before the U.S. unleashed a pivotal 12-point fourth-quarter run. This marks Stewart’s return to a World Cup final since her 2014 debut — a year when they also defeated Spain for gold. With 35 consecutive World Cup wins since 2006, the Americans now turn their focus to France in the championship game — a rematch of the Paris Olympics’ nail-biting 1-point thriller. Meanwhile, Spain will battle host Germany for bronze, proving they’re a global powerhouse. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
