BENGALURU (FIBA Women's Asia Cup 2017) - Australia started a little slow, but they broke the game open after settling into a groove and cut down the Koreans, 78-54, in the FIBA Women's Asia Cup 2017 opening game.

Kelsey Griffin and Alanna Smith led the way for the Opals with 15 and 13 points respectively, while Sim SungYoung paced Korea with 11.
