Steph Talbot carried Australia Women NT through Group C play with 19 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in 33 minutes, shooting 7 of 9 from the field and 4 of 6 from three. The home side dominated Puerto Rico Women NT 70–54, a 16-point margin built on the kind of efficient perimeter work that Talbot epitomised: she missed just two shots from the floor and turned the ball over only three times despite the volume. Talbot's night was about precision more than noise. Her 78% accuracy from the field and 67% from distance — on a night when Australia's shooting was the difference — meant every possession mattered. She added two steals and the kind of off-ball movement that keeps a half-court defence honest, the work that doesn't always show in the line but shapes how a team operates. The margin was never close after early stages. Australia Women NT's depth and spacing overwhelmed a Puerto Rico side that couldn't match their range or their execution. Talbot was simply the most reliable outlet, the one you'd trust with the game on clean possession.
