History!
Utah Jazz 3-point leader Joe Ingles and the Australian men's national team got their first ever medal in the Olympic games with a bronze finish against Luka Doncic and the Slovenain squad. This was Joe's fourth Olympic games.
Joe was pivotal in the win, scoring 16 points and hitting four 3-pointers—the second leading scorer for the Boomers behind veteran guard Patty Mills' remarkable 42-point outing. Ingles added four assists and nine rebounds in his 35 minutes on the floor. Three of his triples came in the third quarter.
The Aussies took an eight-point lead into halftime, ballooning their lead to 14-points early in the fourth quarter before Slovenia made a run back to eventually bring it within a single possession.
