The Boomers ended their World Cup campaign with a win and Patty Mills wants Australia to turn their disappointment into success in Paris.
The Boomers bounced off the canvas to end their FIBA World Cup campaign on a high with a 100-84 victory over Georgia on Sunday night.
Patty Mills scored 13 of his 19 points in a trademark second-quarter scoring spree, while Dante Exum and Duop Reath showed they are growing into key roles ahead of Paris 2024.Exum was on the floor for much of the Boomers’ best passages of play and stood up in the third term to help extinguish a run from the opposition, while Reath nailed his outside shots and made some strong plays around the basket.
Josh Giddey ended his first World Cup campaign with another strong performance, scoring 15 points. He ends the campaign as the youngest player to lead the Boomers in scoring at a major tournament. “It’s definitely a disappointing result for a major tournament, but it was important to us as a playing group that we came out, finished this thing right and with a win,” Mills told broadcasters.“The positives for us is that we have the Olympics 10 months away and to keep building from what we started six weeks ago into a really strong Olympics – you haven’t seen the best of us.
