Australia has pulled off a historic first win over Team USA in their World Cup exhibition game, triumphing 98-94 in front of a record crowd at the Docklands stadium in Melbourne.
The Boomers had not beaten an American national team in 55 years, but they achieved the rare feat following a see-sawing tussle in the final term, which captivated the 52,079-strong crowd.
Patty Mills starred for the Boomers, scoring 30 points, while Joe Ingles produced a 15-point haul for the home side.
The teams have played 26 times since 1964 but the Boomers have never been triumphant.
Team USA had won their opening encounter against the Boomers 102-86 on Thursday night.
More to come.
