Group B, Day 4: Great Britain vs. Australia

[JGX]

Rivalry game! How will GB manage to lose this time? Winning their last two should put them in the quarterfinals.

[Dtown]

Head says Australia, heart says Great Britain.

As for the Brits' brand new way to lose: Great Britain hits a half court shot at the buzzer to win, ref determines the shot was a tenth of a second late.

[each way]

Boomers should win and win well

We have to give credit to them they are fighting ! they lost couple heartbreakers...but if they gonna fight as they did so far,this time they have real chance...

[Wayne White]

GB has had a few close games against good teams as of late. Give Deng some help I believe GB can walk away with a much deserved and well needed win here.

[Dtown]

Great Britain looking good out there, but they've had some scoring droughts in past games, and are notoriously poor closers. So while being up is surely a positive sign for them, they've got a long way yet.

GB was leading 51-36 the last time I checked the score. Now they trail 55-60.

I can't remember as dramatic a turnaround in one quarter, and yet it Great Britain still has a chance. 66-60 Australia at the end of three.

[Visseira]

GB wasted a 15-point lead. Maybe this 3-pointer from Clark to end the 3rd gives them some momentum heading to the last 10 minutes.

[Dtown]

Don't know which game is more painful, Brazil, Spain or this. The Aussies are just punishing the Brits, making it look easy.

Australia 106 Great Britain 75

They outscored GB by 46 after trailing by 15 in the third.

[Visseira]

Only GB loses by 1 against Spain and two days later turns a 15 point lead in the 3rd into a blowout. 70(!) points allowed in the 2nd half and Pat Mills scoring with high efficiency. Two signs of terrible defense.

[JGX]

How will GB manage to lose this time?

Ah, they went for the big lead and second-half collapse. A classic.
