AJ Dybantsa, Team USA Blowout New Zealand 120-64, Advance to FIBA U19 World Cup Championship

Caleb Holt had 20 points and Jasper Johnson added 14 as Team USA cruised to a 120-64 win over New Zealand in the semifinals of the FIBA U19 World Cup on Saturday. The Americans advance to the gold medal game against Germany on Sunday. 

AJ Dybantsa chipped in 10 points with 14 minutes of work in a game that Team USA led all but 14 seconds after the opening tip. The BYU freshman has averaged 14.8 points per game throughout the tournament, including 22 points in the win over Canada. 

The bench production for Team USA carried them with 79 points from the reserves. They shot 45-of-82 (54.9%) from the field and 13-of-25 (52%) from 3-point range. Dybantsa was one of six USA players in double figures with none of them getting a double-double. 

USA and Germany were viewed as the favorites and it's fitting they'll meet in the championship round. The two teams will provide a decent matchup in Switzerland. Christian Anderson leads the Germans with 17.2 points per game thus far. The final will be broadcast on FIBA's YouTube channel at 2 p.m. ET tomorrow.
