The USA women’s national basketball squad secured the top spot in Group C following a dominant triumph over Germany.
Germany initially established a slight advantage in the opening quarter; however, the profound talent pool of the American team ultimately dictated the outcome during the subsequent three periods.
Jackie Young entered the contest as a substitute, subsequently becoming the leading scorer for Team USA with 19 points. A’ja Wilson added a valuable 14 points, while Breanna Stewart recorded 13 points.
The American contingent is assured a position among the top two seeds in the elimination bracket, although securing the top seed hinges upon France’s performance later on Sunday. Currently, Team USA boasts a 16-point advantage in point differential compared to the host nation.
