Went along on Tuesday. Perhaps not the highest standard match, but plenty of highlights nonetheless. The visitors hung in there all night, and had they hit some free throws down the stretch would have gotten much closer.

From a personal point of view, fantastic to see a Portland Trail Blazer play in the flesh. (my NBA team). He didn't disappoint.

Also from a personal point of view, it was only the second time I've been to the Dome since 2005. Used to attend Adelaide V North Melb/Vic Giants games on an annual basis until the latter folded. Seeing Brett Brown pacing the sidelines brought back many great and not so great memories.

Boomers won right at the buzzer. Supposedly Mills drove and dished it to Andersen under the ring for the game winner.

Australia 64 (Mills 13, Nielsen 12) def China 63 (Yi Jianlian 17, Wang Zhi-Zhi 12, Liu Wei 11)

Markovic!! Pumped! Been a huge fan of the man for a long, long time. When everyone else gave up hope of him ever representing his country again I still had faith!

Pretty good looking squad, with a few noticeable absentees. Nice to see Barlow back, another one of my real favourites!
