Dynamic Duo: Hall and Robinson paced the U.S. offense, with both players leading the way with 19 points. Hall (8-17 FG, 2-5 3FG, 1-2 FT) made her impact felt on both ends, also finishing with 8 rebounds and 4 steals, while Robinson tied a team high with 3 3-point makes.

The Beginning: The USA men trotted out a starting five of Caleb Holt, Brandon McCoy Jr., Jordan Smith Jr., Tyran Stokes and Ethan Taylor.
Boom Boom Pow: Back-to-back Nike Hoop Summit men’s games have gone into overtime and in back-to-back Nike Hoop Summit’s, the United States prevailed. The 2025 event saw the USA win in a thriller, 124-114. Lather, rinse, repeat, the Americans took tonight’s matchup in dramatic fashion, 102-100.
Where Is The Love?: The USA leads the all-time series against the World, 20-7. Tonight marks the U.S.’s sixth straight over the World, dating back to 2019. Over the current streak, the red, white and blue have won by single digits three times (tonight; 90-84 in 2023; 93-87 in 2019) and by 10-or-more points three times (124-114 in 2025; 98-75 in 2024; 102-80 in 2022).
Don’t You Worry: After serving as an assistant coach for two Nike Hoop Summit USA men’s squads (2024 & 2023), Nick LoGalbo led the U.S. to victory as head coach. LoGalbo is one of nine coaches to serve as an assistant coach more than once at the Nike Hoop Summit.

The End: The U.S. needed a pair of free throws from McCoy Jr. with under a second remaining to send the game into OT, 89-89. In the extra frame, the USA took the lead on a Caleb Gaskins 3-pointer to go up 99-97 with 1:36 left on the clock.
