Perth used a dominant rebounding effort to secure a 24-point victory over Bendigo. The Lynx outrebounded the Spirit 57-41, including 19 offensive boards that led to repeated second-chance opportunities. Anneli Maley was central to this effort, pulling down 22 rebounds to go along with 13 points. Perth’s defensive pressure also forced Bendigo into a difficult shooting afternoon, as the Spirit managed just 32.8% from the field and 23.3% from three-point range.
Amy Atwell led the scoring for Perth with 23 points, supported by 18 points and three blocks from Han Xu. Bendigo struggled to find offensive rhythm, as Isobel Borlase was the only significant scoring threat with 16 points but also committed eight turnovers. The Lynx’s ability to move the ball resulted in 20 assists, nearly doubling Bendigo’s total of 11, facilitating a balanced attack where four Perth players reached double figures.
