This is Australia's second victory after it downed Lithuania 71-66 Tuesday night.

皇冠体育app was beaten 90-70 by New Zealand Tuesday night.

皇冠体育app's foreign-based trio, NBA super star Yao Ming, Menk Bateer and Wang Zhizhi, are absent from this tournament.

Australia opened with an early 12-4 lead before Li Nan, who topped all scorers in last night's loss to New Zealand with 16 points, and Liu Wei drained three-pointers as an 8-0 run tied the score at 12-12, Australian Associated Press (AAP) reported.

A three-point play from Australia's CJ Bruton and a thunderous jam from Glen Saville set Australia on a 13-0 run that helped establish a 25-14 break at quarter-time.

Australia then gradually increased its lead at every change, breaking the game wide open with a dominant 17-0 run late in the third quarter.

The final period was a procession as Australia continued its preparations for the Oceania series against New Zealand later this month that will determine seedings for next year's world championships in Japan, according to AAP.
