Australia Women NT beat Türkiye Women NT 87–71 behind Ezi MAGBEGOR's 21
Australia Women NT steadied Group C at the World Cup with a 16-point win over Türkiye Women NT, a margin that told the fuller story: never in doubt after halftime. Türkiye stayed close early—within 6 at the end of the first quarter. But a 9-0 run midway through the second quarter, stretching from 15–14 to 15–23, broke the game open. Australia led 40–30 at the half and never relinquished control. By the end of three, the margin had stretched to 12 (67–55), and a late 20-point lead—hit with 1:35 remaining in the fourth—confirmed the verdict. Ezi Magbegor carried the offensive load on efficient shooting: 21 points on 10/14 twos and 1/2 from three. Steph Talbot added 17 on 8/10 shooting while running the offense with 5 assists. Alex Fowler chipped in 10 points and 4 rebounds. For Türkiye, Sevgi Uzun's 24 points (7/13 FG, 3/7 three) kept them within range, though the supporting cast—Goksen Fitik with 11 on 1/4 shooting—lacked consistency when it mattered. Australia Women NT next face Belgium Women NT on Monday 7 Sept, while Türkiye Women NT travel to Puerto Rico Women NT the same day.
