The United States has won their third FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup gold medal in a row after beating Australia on Sunday. It is also their 10th World Cup gold medal overall.
Elena Delle Donne scored two points in the game so this game wasn’t one of her better performances. Since she was injured heading into this tournament, that’s understandable.
Brittney Griner led the Americans with 15 points while Diana Taurasi added 13 more. The USA led the game consistently from start to finish and the Australians were never able to gather much momentum.
The Americans were far from perfect in the 2018 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup.
