USA MEN’S WORLD CUP QUALIFYING JUNE/JULY 2022 RESULTS
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO & LA HABANA, CUBA • JULY 1-4, 2022
The third qualifying window for the 2023 FIBA World Cup was another 2-0 window for the U.S. With wins over Puerto Rico and Cuba. The U.S. opened with Puerto Rico and won the battle of the boards and dominated from beyond the arc in the 83-75 win in San Juan. Justin Jackson scored 26 points and Langston Galloway chipped in 14 of his 18 points in the second half for the U.S., which outrebounded Puerto Rico 40-38 and knocked down 13-of-36 3-pointers. The third period ended with Eric Mika tipping in a missed 3-pointer by Galloway just before the final buzzer, sending the U.S. ahead 66-51 going into the final frame. The U.S. was never seriously threatened down the stretch. The USA played their second game of the window on July 4, where Xavier Munford scored a game-high 24 points to lead the USA to an 87- 64 victory over Cuba in Havana, Cuba. The opening quarter was a tightly contested affair after a slow start for the U.S. Cuba led the game 16-14 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Munford helped change the USA’s fate, sparking two critical runs which aided in building a lead that carried it through the rest of the game. The first run (14-2) came in the first 2:55 of the frame, giving the U.S. a 28-18 lead. With under five minutes to play in the first half, the U.S. went on an 11-4 run, expanding the lead. Including Munford, five Americans scored at least 10 points. Justin Jackson followed his 26 points against Puerto Rico with 13 against Cuba. John Jenkins had 12 points, all coming from four 3-pointers. Will Davis II and Langston Galloway each had 10 points, respectively. In the game, the USA shot 65% on two-point field goals.
