USA rolls past Italy to reach Basketball World Cup semifinals
The Americans handed the Italians their worst loss in a global tournament -- the World Cup or the Olympics -- in nearly 45 years. Mikal Bridges scored 24 points, Tyrese Haliburton added 18 on six 3-pointers and the U.S. was airtight defensively in a 100-63 win in the World Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday.
