Australia vs. Greece live score, updates, highlights from 2024 Olympic men’s basketball game | Sporting News Australia

The Australian Boomers close out their group stage action against Greece, with a spot in the knockout rounds up for grabs. 

The Boomers can advance to the next phase of play with a win over Greece, or lose by nine points or less in the event Canada defeats Spain. 

If Australia loses by 10-16 points and Canada beats Spain, the Boomers can still qualify as one of the two best third-place teams. 

However, if Australia loses to Greece, there will be a three-way tie with three teams at 1-2, ultimately coming down to the point differential in the games between those teams.
