USA are a team of shooters and got on a roll in the 2nd half nailing everything and we didnt have the firepower with Mills held.
Good effort though and I still think we can grab that Bronze with Patty leading us to victory.

Loved seeing Patty Mills singing the anthem with passion during this olympic campaign. Other indigenous sportspeople please take note.

Boomers look like they are gonna do a Carlton and throw away a big lead with 7.5 min to go in the 4th.

Boomers get it done, bronze medal.

Patty Mills vs Slovenia with Mills winning Bronze for his country. Slovenia play a physical game with plenty of contact and late in the game even had a press going on our ball handlers which worked well with Mills having a rest. But the one man offence resumed normality when he came back on and propelled us to victory.
Hopefully Ben Simmons was watching and can take over from Patty next Olympics and see how important he could be to our chances of going further.

Well done Boomers, you well and truly deserved it. In the end only one team beat them. The U.S. Also great interview by Patty post game. Real emotion and you could see it meant a lot. Great end to the night after a dismal afternoon of football.
