In a game where Patty Mills, Joe Ingles, Matthew Dellavedova, and Aron Baynes didn’t play, Australia was still able to easily defeat Nigeria by 39 points.
Led by 6x NBL champion coach Brian Goorjian, Australia shot a super efficient 62% from three point land, as names like Chris Goulding (21 points, 7-7 3-PT) & Josh Giddey (14 points, 4 rebounds & 3 assists) played great. The unselfish play and depth of this Aussie club has been on full display in their 3 exhibition games so far, achieving a perfect 3-0 record that includes a win over #1 ranked USA.
Australia’s chemistry as a group heading into the Tokyo Olympics this summer is like few clubs in the 12 team field.
