The USA Basketball women’s national team defeated Korea, 145-69 on Monday afternoon in Sydney in the 2022 FIBA Women’s World Cup. This was an all-time high-scoring record for Team USA and FIBA in a World Cup game.
The game was an offensive and defensive clinic for the Americans from start to finish where they shot a blistering 66 percent (62-of-94) from the field and never trailed. They outrebounded the Koreans, 56-20. They forced the Koreans to commit 20 turnovers while only committing seven themselves. And let’s say that the Americans also only committed FIVE fouls while the Koreans committed 18.
