🏀 The Boomers suffered a tough defeat to Germany in their second game of the FIBA World Cup, going down 85-82 at Okinawa Arena.
Germany was dealt a big blow before Sunday’s game with rising NBA star Franz Wagner ruled out.
NBA star Denis Schroder stepped up in his absence, leading the way for Germany with 30 points, eight assists and four steals in what Trevor Gleeson described as an “outstanding” all-round effort.
It was a tight contest right until the very end, with Josh Giddey taking a hail-mary shot from deep to win it and appealing that he was fouled.
“Brian Goorjian furious here saying that call decided the game,” - John Casey said in commentary.

Australian Ricciardo crashed his Alpha Tauri at the banked Hugenholz corner during the second practice session for the Dutch Grand Prix.

"It was a fairly straightforward procedure," Horner said.

🏎️ Red Bull's Max Verstappen survived losing the lead in early rain and a red flag for a late torrential downpour to win a chaotic Dutch Grand Prix.
Verstappen equalled the all-time record of nine victories in a row and took his 11th win of the season to extend his championship lead to 138 points.
A shower just as the race started dropped Verstappen to second behind team-mate Sergio Perez before he repassed on lap 13, while heavy rain with eight laps to go forced a red flag and a 45-minute delay.
But through it all Verstappen was always in control, as he has been for the entire season, and never really looked like losing the race.
