USA beats China 122-57 in FIBA U19 World Cup as Maddyn Greenway dishes out nine assists

USA went 3-0 in the group stage following a 114-40 win over Israel on Tuesday, and they continued their winning ways against China in the Round of 16. The red, white and blue won 122-57, and Maddyn Greenway continued to have the theme of providing production despite dealing with shooting struggles.

It was just a 10-point game following the first quarter, and it looked like China would have a shot at keeping up with USA for a while. However, USA’s star power put them over the top. An explosive 40-point second quarter set the precedent for the rest of the game, and just like that, USA is 4-0 in the FIBA U19 World Cup.

Greenway continued to struggle to put the ball in the basket, just recording four points on 1-5 shooting from the field. However, in her 20 minutes of action, the five-star point guard also logged a team-best nine assists, setting up her teammates to do the scoring.

Only Sienna Betts (21) eclipsed the 20-point mark against China, but Saniyah Hall (19) and Jazzy Davidson (18) weren’t too far behind.

The next time USA will suit up will be on Friday, and there, they’ll take on a tough France squad in the Quarterfinals.
