USA edges Italy in grindfest as Gray clutch and Reese defense spark win

The USA women's basketball team survived a defensive slugfest to beat Italy 55-52 in Berlin, extending their World Cup winning streak to 32 but delivering the closest margin since 1979 and a historic 29% shooting night. Chelsea Gray delivered the game-winning jumper after a rough outing, while Angel Reese anchored the defense with two blocks and 8 points. Italy disrupted the Americans with zone and physical play, holding them to 28.6% shooting and 1-for-12 from three, but the U.S. prevailed by earning 22 made free throws (22-for-30) and will face Czechia next.
