U.S. Women Dominate China in World Cup Opener | Dallas News

The U.S. women’s basketball team crushed China 94-61 in their World Cup opener, extending their historic 31-game winning streak back to 2006. Caitlin Clark and Rhyne Howard each scored 14 points, while the young trio of Clark, Bueckers, and Reese—though not starters—made an immediate impact, helping build a 27-14 lead early. China’s 7’3” rookie Zhang Ziyu gave a valiant effort with 13 points, battling hard defensively and drawing double teams offensively, but couldn’t stop the Americans. After China cut the gap to 33-25, the U.S. surged in the second half, taking a commanding 49-29 halftime lead and then reigniting their momentum in the third quarter to seal the win.
