Australia has recovered from its shattering loss to Argentina at the World Basketball Championships with a massive 78-43 victory over Germany. The Boomers showed tremendous spirit to bounce back with a great performance that never looked like ending in anything but a resounding win.
Australia was in control from the outset, ending the first quarter 19-7 ahead, and never looked like letting its lead go. At half time, they led 38-20, and at three quarter time the lead was 62-31.
This was a great team performance from the Boomers built on fantastic defence. Australia controlled the boards and was excellent from the three-point line, shooting at 46% percent accuracy.
Highlights for the Aussies were again Patrick Mills, who goes from strength to strength and picked up 16 points, and efforts from the likes of Matt Nielsen and David Anderson. Alex Maric also played himself into form, starting the game slowly but ending with 15 points.
Next up the Boomers play Serbia (late Wednesday night), who have managed one win from their first two games.
