The Japan women's national team dominated at both ends of the floor and annihilated Taiwan 96-66 in an exhibition game at Arena Tachikawa Tachihi on Friday night.
Evelyn Mawuli knocked down 5 of 6 3-point shots en route to a team-high 19 points for the home squad. The 23-year-old small forward, who also grabbed seven rebounds coming off the bench, was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
"I don't know what to really say (about getting the spotlight), but our senior players helped me out so I was able to do what I did," Mawuli said after the game. "And that's why I was able to make those 3s."
