Gabby Williams: 25 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals in 18 minutes. 8 of 12 from the field, 6 of 8 from three, 3 of 3 from the line. Zero turnovers, zero fouls. France Women NT dismantled Nigeria Women NT 111–56, a 55-point margin that left no doubt about the gap between the sides. Williams moved through the game with surgical efficiency — her shooting clip from deep (75%) and the flawless free-throw mark underscored a performance built on precision rather than volume. Eighteen minutes was enough. She did not need more. The scoreline spoke to Nigeria's struggles offensively and France's control throughout, but Williams efficiency — and her turnover-free night — highlighted what elite guard play looks like at this level. A complete game in compressed minutes. France's World Cup campaign closes with a dominant performance and a group stage that has run its course.

Dorka Juhasz delivered the interior work Hungary needed to edge past Nigeria in a four-point Group B decision. The centre finished with 19 points and 16 rebounds across 33 minutes, shooting 9 of 15 from the floor and adding two steals in the 71–67 result. Hungary's rebounding edge proved decisive in a tight contest. Juhasz's activity on the glass — particularly her ability to convert opportunities inside without fouling — anchored the team's control of the paint. She turned the ball over four times and missed both her free-throw attempts, minor friction points in an otherwise commanding effort on the boards. Nigeria kept pace through stretches but could not quite find the offensive rhythm to match Hungary's consistency down the stretch. The four-point margin reflected a game that remained competitive to the final possession, with Juhasz's work in the middle a clear difference-maker when possessions mattered most.
Hungary held off a late rally to edge Nigeria in a four-point finish that swung on execution down the stretch. The Hungarians built a 14-point lead midway through the second quarter—a 12-0 run that took them from 15-13 to 27-13—but Nigeria clawed back methodically. By halftime, the margin was just 10 (26-36). The third quarter remained even (both teams scored 16 apiece), and the fourth turned into a back-and-forth grind: Nigeria outscored Hungary 25-19 in that frame but couldn't quite catch up. One possession separated the sides inside the final two minutes before Hungary closed it out 71-67. Dorka Juhasz was the difference in the trenches. She finished with 19 points and 16 rebounds on 9-for-15 shooting—a double-double that controlled the glass when Nigeria pressed late. Virag Takacs-Kiss added 17 points and 14 boards (5/9 FG, 6/8 FT), and Reka Lelik chipped in 14 as Hungary's three-headed attack overwhelmed the boards. Amy Okonkwo led Nigeria's push with 17 points on efficient 5-for-10 shooting and 3-for-6 from three. Ezinne Kalu distributed (9 assists) but struggled to find rhythm offensively (4/15 FG). Elizabeth Balogun pitched in 13 points. The deficit in rebounding—Hungary's two bigs were relentless—proved decisive when margins were this thin. Nigeria host France on Monday; Hungary take on the Republic of Korea the same day.

Nigeria led early—up 6 points with 9:18 left in the first quarter—but Republic of Korea answered immediately. A 7-0 run midway through Q1 swung the momentum, and Korea never trailed again. By half-time the score sat at 48–45, a four-point edge that Korea extended to six after three quarters (68–62) before the decisive fourth quarter put the game beyond reach. Korea outscored Nigeria 31–19 in the final frame, stretching their lead to 19 points with 1:37 remaining. The back-and-forth nature early—nine lead changes and three ties—dissolved into Korean control once the defense tightened and the shooting began to fall. Jihyun Park led the way with 27 points on efficient shooting (7/15 FG, 3/6 from three, 10/11 FT) and added six steals. Leeseul Kang distributed the ball with purpose, finishing with 20 points and seven assists on 6/11 three-point shooting. Isaem Choi was nearly perfect from deep, going 4-for-4 from three while scoring 19 points. Amy Okonkwo kept Nigeria competitive through the final stretch—22 points on 8/15 shooting—but Murjanatu Musa's 13 rebounds and 15 points could not overcome Korea's fourth-quarter firepower. Republic of Korea faces France on Saturday 5 Sept in Group B play.
