Dante Exum’s Aussie Boomers Advance To Rio Olympics

Although neither player was in action, Tuesday morning provided a big win for Utah Jazz guards Dante Exum and Joe Ingles. The duo’s Australian Boomers squad defeated the Tall Blacks of New Zealand in the FIBA Oceania Championship to secure entry into the upcoming 2016 Olympic games in Rio.

After downing New Zealand 71-59 in the first bout between the nations over the weekend, the Boomers clinched their spot in Rio on Tuesday with an 89-79 win. The team was paced by Golden State Warriors star Andrew Bogut, who finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots.
