LYON-VILLEURBANNE (France) - The signs are looking good for Germany ahead of this year's main event in Berlin after they set a new record high for assists at a FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup Qualifying Tournament.
Tearing past Philippines 113-80, they not only set a new record for dimes, but were also just one basket away from a new all-time high scoring record.
Led by a majestic double-double from Emily Bessoir with 25 points and 13 rebounds, they showed why they could be a genuine podium threat in September with their teamwork and firepower.
Germany also claimed second spot in the all-time chart for field goals made and 2-point field goals made.
