Historic upset rocks Women's World Cup

Mali produced one of the biggest shocks in Women's Basketball World Cup history on Saturday, toppling Spain in a performance that will live long in the memory. It was just the second time Mali have ever tasted victory at the tournament.

Third-quarter blitz turns the tide

Trailing at the break, Mali exploded after half-time with a devastating 31-19 third quarter that flipped the contest on its head. Sika Kone was at the heart of it all, draining two pivotal three-pointers during a decisive scoring run. She finished with an imposing 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Spain left with no answer

Mali carried that momentum into the fourth quarter, rattling off the opening five points - including yet another Kone triple. Spain never got closer than nine points for the remainder, their challenge effectively over.

Djeneba N'Diaye matched Kone's 19-point haul for Mali, while Iyana Martin top-scored for Spain with 20 points in a losing effort, ESPN reports.
