Breanna Stewart leads Team USA to the World Cup final as Caitlin Clark delivers another efficient performance

After a little over a week of high-intensity action, the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Berlin is set to conclude this Sunday, September 13th, featuring a pair of compelling matchups. The third-place game kicks off at 8:30 a.m. EST between tournament hosts Germany and Spain.

Meanwhile, the grand gold-medal final will showcase heavy favorites Team USA squaring off against France. In the semifinal round, France rolled past Germany in a comfortable 84-64 blowout, while the Americans battled past Spain 76-66 , surging ahead thanks to a dominant 18-8 closing quarter.

Breanna Stewart Propel Team USA to World Cup Final

Team USA now stands just one victory away from securing their fifth consecutive gold medal and advancing to their seventh final in eight tournaments.

That championship pedigree was put on full display as Breanna Stewart delivered a stellar performance, pacing the squad with a team-high 16 points alongside 6 rebounds across 29 minutes of floor time. Beyond Stewart, Jackie Young (12 points) and Khaleah Cooper (13 points) were the only other American players to finish in double figures.

Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark contributed an understated yet remarkably efficient outing, tallying 1 point and 1 assist in 16 minutes while posting a crucial +16 plus/minus , the second-best mark on the court trailing only her WNBA teammate Aliyah Boston (+21).

Spain's 20-year-old standout Iyana Martin led all scorers with a game-high 17 points, but if the red, white, and blue intend to overcome a tough French powerhouse, they will need another masterclass from Stewart and crisp execution across the entire roster.
