Team USA moved to within two victories of a fifth consecutive Women's Basketball World Cup gold medal after crushing Hungary 108-56 in the quarter-finals. The Americans dominated from the opening tip, allowing head coach Kara Lawson to use her full 12-player roster, with every player scoring at least once. Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, who both started on the bench, showed strong on-court chemistry despite being seen as rivals by WNBA fans.

Napheesa Collier top-scored with 19 points, while Reese contributed nine points and six assists and Clark added 10 points and nine assists. The team's 31 assists set a new FIBA World Cup record, with five players recording at least three apiece, and the 52-point margin was the USA's largest of the tournament so far. Having also beaten Italy 55-53 in a closer earlier contest, the top-ranked USA will now face the winner of Australia versus Spain in Saturday's semi-final.
