The Australia men’s national basketball team made the second round of the 2023 FIBA World Cup, but they won’t go any further after losing to Slovenia, 91-80 earlier tonight in Okinawa, Japan.
Washington Wizards forward Xavier Cooks had a strong showing in each of the Boomers’ first three games in Group E. However, he only played 13 minutes and scored just 4 points. That was largely due to the fact that he also committed 4 personal fouls in that time.
The Boomers never led in this game, and the Slovenians led by double digits for most of the game.
