After defeating Cuba on Saturday night, the Opals continued its Group C dominance with a 87 to 54 win against Korea.
All 12 Opals players scored throughout the game, including Bendigo Spirit trio, Tessa Lavey, Gabe Richards and Belinda Snell.
Opals head coach Brendan Joyce said it was important to have all players ready for what will come over the next week.
“With the game style we play I like to use my bench and again those players maintained the energy and effort established by our starters,” he said.
“It’s important in tournament play situations to keep all your players fresh, but also get playing time into the whole team, I think we’ve managed to do that so far.
“We’re a very unselfish team and I think you could see some of the veterans really happy to see some of the younger players getting that court time."
Snell, who just played 15 minutes of the game, scored 13 points and had four rebounds.
Lavey scored eight points in 19 minutes of game time, she also grabbed three rebounds and had dished our three assists.
Richards, played 11 minutes, finishing with six rebounds and one point.
