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.
