RIO DE JANEIRO -- Down Under is on top in Olympic men's basketball.
Now Australia is looking forward to its shot at the United States for the chance to stay there. "We're going out there to win a game," forward Joe Ingles said. "I think we've got a team that is focused on that and we believe we can do some special things in this tournament." Australia became the first team to start 2-0 here by pulling away to beat Serbia 95-80 on Monday. Patty Mills scored 26 points and Matthew Dellavedova had 23 points and 13 assists for the Australians, who have opened the Olympics by beating France and Serbia, two of the top six teams in the world.
