Basketball: Australia lead Serbia at half-time
There are MVP chants going around the Bercy Arena from the Serbia fans as Nikola Jokic steps to the free-throw line, but in reality its been Australia point guard Patty Mills who has been unstoppable thus far, scoring 20 points on eight-of-eleven shooting from the field.
At one point Mills hit back-to-back contested threes that almost blew the roof off the stadium, and thanks to Mills Australia head into the break with a healthy 54-42 lead.
Nikola Jokic has been stuffing the stat sheet as you’d expect (11 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal), but he and his teammates will need a big second half if they are to progress to the semi-finals.
