Very much so it requires at least some effort. NBA All-Star games aren't even worth watching just a lay up/dunk drill.

The intensity tonight from both teams in the second half along with their crowd getting right into it made it good viewing for me. It's their national sport so they often get good crowds over there no matter where they play.

I didn't see the game tonight but it sounds like the refs played a helping hand with China avoiding the sweep by winning 82-62 in Beijing.

Game 3

China 82 (Abudushalamu 20, Sun Minghul 16, Wang Zhelin 14, Zhao Rui 10) def NBL All-Australians 62 (Barlow 16, Kickert 13)

NBL All-Australians win the series 2-1

Also the Illawarra Hawks have announced they've signed young local Daniel Grida a 6'5" swingman who has been training at the AIS in the Centre of Excellence program.

I watched the first half and we were terrible 14-2 down at one stage and no ref interference. Just couldn’t buy a basket

Boomers were up 79-48 at the time in the 3rd Qtr.
