The group winners got a bye into this round and the extra day of rest did not help the United States as Nigeria started better, but the champions found their footing and clamped down for a 71-40. Liz Cambage and Australia did not wait, building a big lead on China in an 83-42 win. Kim Mestdagh and Belgium started strong and did not let up in the second half to beat France 86-65. Hosts Spain struggled with Canada for most of the game, but when it counted, utterly dominated the fourth quarter to win 68-53.
