ITA – AUS
Unlike previous game between these teams (3-2 for Australia), Gianlorenzo Blengini, the head coach of Italy, introduced some of major players, like Ivan Zaytsev. And it paid him off.

In Australia, Paul Carroll collected 18 points while Nehemiah Mote contributed with 10. Australia’s star Thomas Edgar was rested by head coach Roberto Santilli after scoring 27 points in the first game.
