Continued from previous post
The second quarter started with Ted dunking off a Combover pass and the Duke starting to assert some dominance on the boards.
5 minutes into the second and after the Bath Water drained a couple of free throws, Australia hit the lead for the first time in the game, only for the Iranians to regain it shortly after.
At half time and despite a buzzerbeater from Goodsy off a pass from Evonnes Son, Australia again trailed 40 to 37, possibly in part due to Tic Tac missing 9 of 10 shots and having 2 turnovers during the half.
Bath Water started the 3rd quarter giving off his 6th assist which resulted in Ted knocking down his 14th point, however the game was continuing to be tightly fought with the Iranians defending hard.
Part way through the 3rd and Nima Izadi, Irans starting SF was hurting the Australians with his 5 from 5 shooting and 2 from 2 free throws that he'd had up to this stage of the game, but courtesy of Ted and the Duke, dominating the boards, Australia gained the lead again and extended it to 6 points at 3 quarter time, 64 to 58.
The 4th started with The Duke knocking down a 2 and then the Iranian sharp shooter Nima Izadi missing his first shot for the game and it wasn’t until almost 5 minutes into the quarter and many attempts that the Iranians hit their first points for the quarter.
6 minutes into the last and Ted knocked down his 29th point to extend the Aussies lead to 14 points and allow the Wombat King to be comfortable enough to give the bench a run.
Wang Chung, Evonnes Son, Bald Guy, Goodsy and the Hessian Bag played out most of the remaining minutes and guided Australia home to a 84 to 69 win.
Ted and the Duke combined for 29 rebounds and 44 points between them which was significantly better than Irans starting PF and Centre who combined for only 15 rebounds and 25 points.
Bath Water finished with 10 assists and the Bald Guy surprisingly topped the ratings with a 17.
The Wombat King wasn’t impressed that Tic Tac jokingly tried to claim a double double (10 rebounds and 11 missed shots) and ordered him to attend extra training sessions of lay up practice and also to refrain from drinking.
