Team USA was nearly dealt a stunning blow in its second group stage matchup against Italy, holding off a pesky Italian bunch, 55-52, to keep its 32-game World Cup win streak intact.

It was anything but a classic showing for the Americans, who posted their lowest points tally in a World Cup match since 1971 in the contest. Kara Lawson's bunch recorded just 16 made baskets during the contest. If not for late-game heroics from Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young — and a sizable advantage at the free-throw line — Team USA could have found itself on the wrong side of the scoreboard for the first time in more than half a century.

In the end, Team USA did enough to fend off the Mediterranean nation and secure a spot in the quarterfinals. Its final group stage tilt — a joust with Czechia — isn't all that consequential outside of seeding. Nevertheless, the fixture should offer a platform for players down the pecking order to get a look in.

The Czechs aren't nearly as star-laden as their adversary. They've dropped both of their World Cup games thus far, falling to China in overtime in their last outing.

Still, with a handful of EuroLeague talents scattered across their ranks and one WNBA player — Lynx guard Eliska Joklova — Czechia will fancy itself contenders to give Team USA a real contest.
