Bogut-less Boomers kick away from China
After a forgivable blip against the near-invincible USA, the Boomers have returned to winning ways with a 93-68 win over China.
Despite a scrappy start in which the Chinese matched the Andrew Bogut-less Australians, the Boomers kicked away in the final quarter to take the game by a comfortable 25 points.
Cameron Bairstow top scored for the Aussies with 17 points while Matthew Dellavedova kept up his impressive tournament with a game-high eight assists.
Australia plays Venezuela in its final pool game, with a quarter-finals spot looking likely following earlier wins over Serbia and France.
Bogut was rested for the China clash after coming into the tournament under a knee-injury cloud.
