The United States beat Hungary 108–56 Thursday to reach the semifinals of the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup, taking control at Berlin Arena with a 36-point first quarter and never giving its opponent a realistic route back.

Napheesa Collier led the Americans with 19 points and added six rebounds. Caitlin Clark finished with 10 points and nine assists, while Rhyne Howard scored 15. USA Basketball reported five players in double figures and 31 assists on 40 made field goals, a quarterfinal record for the competition.

The result puts the Americans in their 11th consecutive World Cup semifinal. The national team marked that milestone after the victory:

FIBA’s quarter-by-quarter score shows how quickly the margin grew. The United States led 36–12 after the first period and 59–30 at halftime. A 34–17 third quarter stretched the gap to 93–47, leaving the final 10 minutes largely about completing the job.

Hungary was outscored in every period. Even its best offensive quarter, an 18-point second, was not enough to reduce the halftime deficit. The Americans added 15 points in the fourth while holding Hungary to nine, finishing with a 52-point winning margin.

Watch USA Basketball’s official game highlights:

The shooting figures underline the difference. FIBA lists the United States at 59% from the field, compared with Hungary’s 34%. The Americans shot 52.2% from three-point range and 62.2% on two-point attempts. Hungary finished at 32.1% from three and 36.1% inside the arc.

The U.S. reached a maximum lead of 55 points, according to FIBA’s game tracker. It led for 39 minutes and four seconds of the 40-minute game. Hungary’s time ahead totaled just 19 seconds, an indication of how little uncertainty remained once the opening American surge took hold.

Aliyah Boston contributed eight points and four rebounds, including consecutive three-pointers during the first-quarter run. Kahleah Copper scored 10 without missing a field-goal attempt, going 3-for-3, and collected six rebounds. Chelsea Gray supplied six assists alongside Clark’s nine.

The distribution of those contributions mattered. The Americans did not need one player to carry the scoring, and their passing kept several options involved as the lead expanded. Collier’s early production, Clark and Gray’s playmaking, and the shooting around them made this a collective win.

The semifinals are the next step. Thursday’s result secured that opportunity emphatically; it did not finish the tournament or settle the medal places.
