Han Xu powered a 74-70 overtime victory with 22 points and 14 rebounds, leading her side back from an eight-point deficit in Group D. She added four assists and two steals across 34 minutes as the winners turned a 64-64 tie at the end of regulation into a four-point victory.
What happened
Neither side could settle the game in regulation, which ended level at 64. The winners then controlled the extra period 10-6, creating the final margin and completing a comeback that had required them to erase an eight-point deficit.
Han drove the result with production across the box score. Her double-double supplied the foundation, while her four assists and two steals gave her side additional value beyond scoring and rebounding.
Why it matters
The victory moved Han's side to 1-1 in Group D following a 94-61 loss in its opening game. That response keeps a route through group play available with one game remaining.
The turnaround also changed the immediate direction of the group campaign. Instead of carrying a second defeat into the finale, Han's side now reaches Monday with a level record and a chance to build on an overtime win.
By the numbers
Han scored efficiently from multiple levels, shooting 9-of-18 from the field and 3-of-6 from three-point range. Her 14 rebounds were part of a dominant team effort on the glass, where the winners finished with a 53-27 advantage.
That rebounding control was accompanied by a 44-30 edge in paint points. Together, those margins gave Han's side a substantial advantage around the basket even as the overall contest remained close enough to require overtime.
The final sequence reflected how narrow the game was despite those interior advantages. After 64 points apiece in regulation, the 10-6 extra period supplied the separation needed to secure the 74-70 result.
What to watch next
Group play concludes Monday, when Han's side will enter its finale at 1-1. The overtime victory preserved the opportunity to advance, placing the focus on whether the team can carry its rebounding strength, paint production and Han's all-around impact into the final group game.
