Australia made it two wins in as many days, outclassing the Philippines 97-75 in the four-nation Basketball World Cup warm-up event in Nice on Saturday.
It was a commanding performance from the Boomers who outclassed their Asian opponents 50-33 after half time to claim a 22-point victory and head into Sunday's match-up with France full of confidence.
The Australians accounted for Ukraine 74-65 in their opening game.
Five players managed double-digit scoring on Saturday: Aron Baynes (15 points and four assists), Ryan Broekhoff (14 points on 4-of-7 3FG), Matthew Dellavedova (13 points), Brad Newley (13 points and four rebounds) and Nathan Jawai (10 points and four rebounds).
Young gun Dante Exum had his best all-round performance in the green and gold, posting an impressive stat line of eight points, five rebounds and a game-high six assists in 21 minutes.
His Utah Jazz NBA Summer League teammate Brock Motum continued his strong European tour, posting seven points and a game-high 12 rebounds as the Boomers dominated the glass 40-30.
Assistant coach Luc Longley said it was pleasing to see the team perform against a potentially tricky opponent.
"We were nervous going into this game," Longley said.
"They were a Korea, Angola-style game where they just run around and jack up threes, very hard to scout and very hard to prepare for, so it was a game where we needed to be disciplined defensively and only taking good looks was important, which I thought the guys did a really well.
"We're really happy with the way the guys are coming together. Roles are clarifying. Players like Ryan Broekhoff are starting to find their niche and find their shots. There's a couple of guys that still need to do that, but we're happy with the process."
