Frieda Buhner finished with 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in just 25 minutes as Germany Women NT defeated Japan Women NT 74–58 in Group A play. The German forward was efficient from the floor, shooting 8 of 12 overall and connecting on 3 of 4 from deep, while committing only one turnover in a decisive performance. Germany's 16-point win was built on strong ball movement and shooting discipline — Buhner's accuracy from range set a tone that Japan's defence could not contain. Her scoring punch came without any forced looks; she operated within the offence and let the rhythm of the game dictate her touches rather than hunting attempts. The margin reflected Germany's control throughout. Buhner's early efficiency helped establish the kind of lead that allowed the hosts to manage the second half without needing to press, a hallmark of confident basketball at this level.
