In the first half against Italy: 🇺🇸 USA with Angel Reese on the court: +9 🇺🇸 USA without Angel Reese on the court: -3 Via @FIBAWWC on X

What happened: Her team was plus-9 with Reese on the court and minus-3 when she sat. Reese scored six points in five minutes.

Why it matters: The game was separated by six points at halftime. Reese's on-off swing was twice that margin despite the limited sample.

By the numbers: On-off differential: 12 points (+9 on, -3 off). Reese recorded 6 points, 1 steal, 2 blocks and a plus-8 mark in 5 minutes.

What to watch: Watch whether Reese's role expands after halftime and whether the on-off gap persists.
