The US women’s basketball team roared back with a dominant 105-64 win over the Czech Republic, silencing any lingering Italy scare from their narrow 55-52 victory. Breanna Stewart lit it up early, scoring 19 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, and dishing 6 assists — including 11 points in just the first 10 minutes — as the U.S. built a commanding 29-15 lead and cruised to a 57-33 halftime advantage. The Czechs, making their first World Cup appearance since 2014 and silver medalists in 2010, went winless in pool play. Stewart nearly recorded a triple-double but sat out the fourth quarter — a feat only one player has ever achieved in World Cup history. With a 33-game winning streak dating back to 2006, Team USA heads into the quarterfinals Thursday against the winner of Hungary vs. Japan — which tips off tomorrow.
