Aussies impress in Vegas – Day 7

I’m not sure about anybody else but I’m starting to get exhausted by watching all this basketball. The seven games each day of Summer League, the Boomers and Opals pre-Olympic matches, the world junior tournaments. It’s getting a bit too much.

Is there such thing as too much basketball? Why do I endlessly pour my eyes into the screen just to see Emoni Bates miss three three-pointers in the final minutes of a game?

Am I sick in the head? I haven’t seen the sun in a week (mainly because I live in Melbourne but that’s beside the point).

Have the years of my own incompetence at the sport made me a worse sports writer, or has understanding the failures of my own game made me realise what a good player or team is?

Have I just rambled here because nothing major of note happened today? Yes… Yes I have.

Anyway, here are the stats from today’s game.
