Australia rallied from a 10-point deficit in the second half to stun USA 98-94 and snap a 78-game winning streak that started with the bronze-medal game at the 2006 world championships. Patty Mills scored 30 points, and Australia rallied from a 10-point deficit in the second half to stun the Americans 98-94 and snap a 78-game US winning streak that started with the bronze-medal game at the 2006 world championships. But the Aussies gave us a great lesson as far as where we want to be and how you have to play in this kind of a competition.” A World Cup where Serbia has already made very clear it expects to win gold, where NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead Greece, where France figures to have a medal shot and now with the Australians absolutely knowing they can beat the US, will begin next week with no shortage of realistic title hopefuls. Donovan Mitchell’s 3-pointer with 1:05 left got the US within 97-94, the Americans forced a stop on the ensuing possession and had two chances to tie — but Mitchell’s 3-pointer was off, Joe Harris missed a corner 3 a few seconds later and Mills iced the game with a free throw.
