Australia 45-40 halftime.

Lauri has gone quiet in the last 6 minutes.

Australia is a relatively young team, but a fair bit of NBA talent.

Rondae 'Shimmy ' Hollis-Jefferson is playing for JORDAN.

How the heck did that happen?

He hit a freethrow with 10 seconds left to send them into overtime against New Zealand.

ETA Nz won 95-87. Rondae played 44 minute and had 39 points.
