Group B, Day 4: Great Britain vs. Australia
Rivalry game! How will GB manage to lose this time? Winning their last two should put them in the quarterfinals.

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.
The Rules learned in the Prediction game.
1: Brazil is always disappointing
2: Never dismiss Argentina solely because of age.
3: Never bet against Spain in a knockout game, unless it is against the US.
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...
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.
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.
aim low, score high
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.

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.
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.

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