Australia came from 10 points back to edge China 76-74 on Saturday, the second day of the 5th FIBA Stankovic Basketball Continental Cup for Men. Australia was the only team to keep two wins while China posted one win and one loss. Australia trounced Turkey and the host defeated Angola on Friday.

China led 74-73 with 10 seconds left but a turnover by Hu Xuefeng's bad pass to Sun Yue gave the Australians a chance to win when Oscar Forman made a lay-up and drew a foul and made the free-throw for victory.

Australia's Peter Crawford (2nd L) drives the ball during the second day match against China at the men's 2009 Stankovic Basketball Continental Cup in Kunshan city, east China's Jiangsu Province, on Aug. 29, 2009. Australia won 76-74.

Australian Aj Ogilvy scored a game-high 18 points, James Harvey netted 17 and Ater Majok 11. Li Xiaoxu led China with 17 points and 8 rebounds, Wang Zhizhi got 16 but made six turnovers.

The first period was marked by six lead changes and four ties with a 23-all entering the second period.

The host broke open a close game immediately in the second quarter when they came out with a 17-9 run to lead 38-31.

The Australians, who trailed 39-43 at half-time and seven points again, 44-51, early in the second half, trimmed the gap gradually and finished the third quarter with a 57-57 tie.

China regained the lead with consecutive points from Zhang Qingpeng and Li Xiaoxu and turned the advantage into 10 points, 70-60 -- the first double-figure margin of the game, on Zhang's 3-pointer with five minutes remaining.
