Basketball has been a slowly dieing sport in Australia since Michael Jordon retired.
But this year the media has exploded with NBA stories, particularly about the 76ers, almost daily suddenly this year.
I liked this story today. But "historic day"... getting a bit desperate to find a record?
AUSSIES IN ACTION
It was a historic day for Australian basketball as the nation’s NBA representatives combined for a record single-day points haul.
Led by Ben Simmons and Patty Mills (26 points each in Philadelphia’s 112-106 win over San Antonio), Australians scored a combined 86 points, smashing the previous record day of 66 points.
Thon Maker and Matthew Dellavedova both impressed in Milwaukee’s 122-101 win over Indiana. Maker had 12 points and four rebounds off the bench, while Dellavedova had a game high nine assists and eight points off the bench.
Aron Baynes had six points and six rebounds in Boston’s impressive 102-88 thrashing of Cleveland while Joe Ingles scored eight in Utah’s 108-98 loss to New Orleans.
