The USA’s starters were joined by strong contributions from Jackie Young, who scored 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting, and Breanna Stewart, who added eight points while shooting 3-of-5 from the field. Aliyah Boston also contributed eight points, three assists and four rebounds.

As a team, the USA shot an impressive 58.8% from the field, connecting on 40 of 68 attempts. The team also shot 52.2% from three-point range, making 12 of 23 attempts, while converting 16 of 22 free throws. The USA finished with 42 rebounds, 31 assists, nine steals and five blocks.

The numbers point to a team that was able to generate offense from multiple areas rather than relying on a single scorer. Collier’s efficient scoring, Howard and Copper’s perimeter shooting, Reese’s work on the glass and Clark’s playmaking all contributed to a complete offensive effort.

With 108 points on 58.8% shooting, the USA’s performance was defined by efficiency and balance—and the box score showed just how many players were able to make an impact.
