  • I love that the men's team on both sides showed up to support the women and vice versa.
  • A’ja Wilson was the backbone of this team 🔥🔥🔥 Her and Breana Stewart on defense kept the team alive in so many tough moments.

    Cheryl Reeve to her assistants at halftime: "We are really struggling to score. Any suggestions?" Assistant: "Well, you have the WNBA record holders in career and single-season points sitting at the end of the bench." Reeve: "Any other suggestions?"

    Wow, Gabby Williams. She was on fire. Fun fact: She competed at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials as a 15 year old in 2012 in the high jump. Amazing athlete.
  • @Themayseffect
    Wow Williams only needed 30 more seconds. She was on fire. Congrats USA, but much respect to France!

  • No controversy. Clear call. France played their hearts out. Great game

    Slowly but surely, France has built itself into a global basketball powerhouse.

    Man, I thought the USA was gonna blow everybody out. It’s great to see countries giving us competition. Basketball is definitely becoming more of a global sport.❤
  • @francislll777
    And also, Sabrina Ionescu, who created good plays & assists in a great passion to stop the momentum of the France. Well deserved win for USA.
