Australia’s hopes of progressing now hang by a thread.
“When I’m hard like that is when the effort, the controllables stuff is off,” the coach said post-game.The loss leaves Australia, who opened the tournament with a win over Finland, 1-1 ahead of Tuesday’s match against pool-stage hosts Japan.Victory there would likely put the Boomers through to the second round, although Sunday’s loss will weigh on them given results carry into the next stage.
But again Schroder took control in the second term, and after he sank three free-throws they led by five at halftime. An aggressive Dante Exum chipped in with seven third-quarter points, Xavier Cooks continued his strong defensive work and the Boomers led by four at the final break.
