Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever teammate Damiris Dantas spearheaded Brazil’s effort against Team USA in a high-stakes AmeriCup Final on Sunday. Starting alongside Kamilla Cardoso, Bella Nascimento, Vitoria Marcelino and Alana Goncalo at the Centro de Deportes Colectivos, Dantas made an immediate impact.

She came out firing, keeping Brazil within striking distance as they trailed just 25-22 at the end of the first quarter. Dantas carried the offensive burden early, delivering key buckets and asserting her presence on the boards. Her defensive hustle was equally impressive, setting the tone for her team.

In her 10-minute first-quarter stint, Dantas tallied 10 points on a perfect 3-for-3 shooting clip and went 4-for-5 from the free-throw line. She also pulled down four rebounds and added a steal, capping off a dominant opening frame.

The second quarter belonged to Brazil, with Damiris Dantas continuing to be a relentless force against Team USA. Refusing to take a breather, she stayed on the court and elevated her game even further, making a massive impact on both ends of the floor.

Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever teammate wasn’t just scoring at will, she seamlessly shifted into the role of a playmaker, orchestrating the offense and disrupting Team USA’s rhythm. Her all-around dominance turned her into a nightmare matchup as she led Brazil’s charge with poise and authority.

At halftime, Damiris Dantas had 20 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes. She shot an uber-efficient 7-for-8 from the field and 6-for-7 from the charity stripe.
