BERLIN (AP) — Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers made the most of their World Cup debuts to help the United States rout China in the opener of the tournament.
Clark had 14 points and 11 ******* ists and Bueckers added another 14 points as the Americans topped China 94-61 on Friday.
It was the first of likely many times that Clark and Bueckers will play together in the U.S. backcourt over the next decade for the senior national team.
"It's just organic. We know how to play well off of each other," Bueckers said. "She draws so much defensive attention, so a lot of the defense is worried about her."
Clark loved having so many offensive options, including Bueckers. Everywhere she turned to pass there was a teammate waiting to score.
