Caitlin Clark ran the offense with surgical efficiency in the opening half, finishing with 14 points, 11 assists and no turnovers across 25 minutes as the USA Women's National Team dismantled People's Republic of China 94–61 in a Group D matchup. The floor general's vision dictated the pace early. Clark shot 4-of-9 from the field (3-of-7 from three) and 3-of-4 from the line, but her primary impact came through playmaking—her 11 dimes orchestrated an offense that never let China find rhythm. The 33-point margin reflected the gulf in execution. Clark's zero turnovers in a half-court setting where she controlled possessions underscored the precision required at this level. She took what the defense gave her and moved on, never forcing. By the time the lead was comfortable enough to wind down the rotation, the damage was complete.
