Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark Having 'Fun' Playing Together for US
- On Thursday, September 10, the United States defeated Hungary 108-56 in the FIBA Women's World Cup quarterfinals at Berlin Arena, extending the team's winning streak to 34 consecutive games and securing a semifinal spot.
- Team USA Coach Kara Lawson has maintained a veteran-heavy starting lineup throughout the tournament, consistently deploying young stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese from the bench to sustain offensive depth in knockout-round play.
- Clark and Reese demonstrated growing on-court chemistry during the victory, executing a pick-and-roll play in the first quarter that ended with a Reese layup, then connecting on a fast-break transition for an easy Clark lay-in later.
- Both players dismissed media-driven rivalry narratives as "false takes," emphasizing their mutual respect and shared commitment to winning gold for Team USA. "No matter what, there's always going to be people that create those narratives," Clark said.
- Record television ratings for the tournament reflect the sport's rising profile, with the gold medal game reaching 1.5 million viewers and the Americans' performance driving significant interest in international women's basketball competition.
