The USA Basketball women’s national team has won the 2022 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup after an 83-61 win over China on Saturday evening (local time) in Sydney, Australia.
The Americans were able to build a significant lead in the second and third quarters. And I feel like I’m writing the same story line again and again, because ... they were never truly threatened at any point.
For the Washington Mystics players, Ariel Atkins played 17 minutes, scoring 6 points on 2-of-3 shooting. She averaged 5.5 points per game in the World Cup and was not a major factor on offense throughout the entire tournament.
