A Dyson Daniels last-second game-winner has given the Australian Boomers, coached by Sydney Kings' Brian Goorjain, the perfect finish to their Olympic preparations, defeating France 83-82.
Daniels' reverse lay-up led the Boomers to their third straight win, after victories over Puerto Rico and Serbia in the past week, as well as an encouraging performance against Team USA.
Perfectly executed 🤌
