Aussies book Asian cup Semi, defeat Taiwan 97-91.
Firstly, apologies for the late write up, I was on holidays and returned to reception this arvo.
Taiwan needed to register a win here, and threw the kitchen sink at us. A CT, a GDP, and their go to offensive and defensive tactics. With a semi final for the Asian cup up for grabs, it was an important game to win. Without viewing the game yet, I'd say the game has gone the the last few plays. The Aussies failed to close the game out at the free throw line.
MVPs
3- TP. 17 pts and 10 assists, he was involved in so many of our offensive plays
2- No Ulcers. From the bench, 14pts with 3 3pters. Closing the opponents SGs down was a big factor.
1- Munro. 13 boards and 8 Rebs. More importantly, he held a key player to 6-15, fouling him out, and dropping the fts with 7-8 in a game where the rest of the team struggled.
