FIBA World Cup: Setting tone important for Team USA

Mikal Bridges of the US basketball team highlighted their effort in setting the tone that led to a masterful 100-63 win for the Americans over Italy in the quarterfinals of the 2023 FIBA World Cup Tuesday night, Sept. 5 at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena in Pasay City.

Bridges, who led the team in scoring with 24 points, said that's their early separation against the Italians proved to be the key point in getting the 'W' that propelled the US to the Final Four.
