Australia vs Spain preview
This game looks competitive on paper, but Australia has the upper hand against the older Spanish squad. They have unfinished business since the Tokyo Olympics and will try to start this campaign with the right foot.
Australia finished its preparation process with a hard-fought 83-82 win over host team France that was decided in the last second of the fourth quarter. The win came at an expensive cost after Dante Exum suffered a dislocated finger during the game.
With two seconds left on the clock, the Boomers were losing the game until Josh Giddey set up Dyson Daniel for a basket that ended up being the game-winning bucket for the Aussies.
Patty Mills led the way with 24 points, while Giddey, recently traded to the Chicago Bulls, finished the night with 20 points, six rebounds, and eight assists, including a clutch one.
Spain isn't the same team that won the 2019 FIBA World Cup, but the European giants always demand respect, even if they're not going through their best moment.
Veterans Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Llull will try to make some noise in perhaps their last dance, while Lorenzo Brown, one of the best players in Europe in recent times, should help their cause. Although Australia looks like a more dangerous team than Spain, these two should be in the mix for a spot in the tournament's knockout stage.
Spain finished its Olympic preparation with a commanding 107-84 win over Puerto Rico in Madrid.
