PATTY Mills loaded the Boomers onto his back tonight as they hurtled past a plucky Dominican Republic 82-76 for their history-making fourth straight win at a FIBA World Cup, putting Australia on the brink of its quarter-finals.
WC: Tokyo here we come, and other stuff
LAST night's sensational 87-82 win over Lithuania to close Group H play with a historic 3-0 record, progressing on into the FIBA World Cup's second round also has automatically qualified Australia for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

WC: Green and gold, as foretold
IS the current Australian Boomers team at the FIBA World Cup in China destined to go down as our greatest ever? Or will they just go down tomorrow night when facing arch international rival Lithuania?

WC: Delly delivers as Canucks plucked
MATTHEW Dellavedova tonight produced his greatest shooting performance in an international game for Australia as the Boomers weathered a Canadian storm to open their FIBA World Cup campaign with a 108-92 win in Dongguan.
WC: Beware canny Canadians
CANADA has proven something of an international nemesis for Australia, going into today's FIBA World Cup opener in Dongguan, China holding a 6-2 edge in tournament play.
