Australia take down Hong Kong in big rival game 97-89
(63304)That was a big game for us that can set us up for a favourable 2nd round draw. Hong Kong went shot after shot with us in the 4th, and the game wasnt really sealed until the final seconds. We had 3 outstanding performers so ive looked deep into shooting efficiency and also defensive effectiveness to udge MVPS
3- Kusto. Sure he was 8-18FG%, but 23pts, 6 boards, 4 assists, 3 3pters, and he hit 4-6FTs when we only managed 7-20. His defense was outstanding holding his man to 6-20FG and kept his man to a -17 +/-
2- Nguyen. 22pts on 10-20FG, 5 assists and kept his man to 6pts.
1- MAcQuaid. 13pts, 21 boards and a big 3pter late. Could easily have been 3 votes! His man probably got away from him at times with 12pts and 13 boards- better shape could have assisted with this.
