Under the guidance of head coach Park Soo-ho, the team triumphed over Taiwan 73-59 on September 22 at the Aichi International Arena in Nagoya, Japan.
Having already clinched a quarterfinal berth with victories over Malaysia on September 18 and Mongolia on September 21, South Korea finished the group stage with three consecutive wins, placing first in Group C.
