Streaky shooting no issue for Gangurru’s

It was an ugly game early, but Australia found their rhythm late to remain undefeated with a 21-11 win over Guyana.

The Gangurru’s couldn’t buy a bucket early, and rising star Jonah Antonio’s hot form from yesterday nowhere to be seen.

Scores were tied 6-6 at the first break, but Perth Wildcat Jesse Wagstaff took charge and dropped a deep bucket as play resumed to overcome shooting woes.

Going back to basics paid off for the Aussies, with Wagstaff setting an easy pick and roll for Jared Bairstow.

Guyana big man Kevin Mickle responded with authority, using two hands for a commanding dunk.

Despite his age, elder statesmen Wagstaff was relentlessly hustling on defence while setting screens to give his shooter Antonio more opportunities.

Australia were put on their toes early, but the class prevailed down the stretch with Guyana running out of steam.

Antonio got over his cold steak sunk the two final buckets to bury the game, finishing with eight points off 4/10 from deep.

Wagstaff had seven points and grabbed six rebounds to help stop the early bleeding.

The Gangurru’s face the Cayman Island in their final pool game tomorrow morning at 3.20am, looking to finish their perfect run heading into the bracket.
