Boomers win again in Europe

Australia have beaten Finland 80-57 to give the men's team four straight wins on their European basketball tour.

The Australian men's basketball team made it four straight wins on their European tour with an 80-57 win over Finland in France.

David Andersen led the frontcourt, posting 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Boomers who are preparing for the World Cup in Spain later this month.

The three-time Olympian found plenty of support from his big-man brethren, with Aron Baynes continuing his stellar form on 13 points, six rebounds and three assists, while Cameron Bairstow added 11 points.

Ryan Broekhoff posted 14 points on 5-of-6 from the field, while Joe Ingles had nine points and four assists.

After six games in two weeks, including three wins in three days against Ukraine, Philippines and France in Nice, the players and staff enjoyed a mid-tour break, reconvening in Strasbourg on Thursday for the final two games.

The Boomers' World Cup campaign begins on August 31 against Korea.
