Mills and Ingles in tears. A decade and a bit of hard work and planning. Well deserved.

What an historic moment for Australia.

Slovenia just didn't have it today. Congrats to Australia, well deserved win.

We finally did it!

Loving the unofficial Aussie national anthem playing in the stadium.

But he’s the most dominant athlete of the Olympics… and it’s not even close :lol:

We shoulda got silver last olympics. Got boned by refs in the semi and then just lost the bronze game legitimately. Glad the goat got us a bronze

Officials had to work overtime tonight mopping up Lukas tears all game long. Brilliant effort keeping the court safe from the slip hazard he created.

So glad Simmons dogged us, have a feeling we wouldn't have won bronze with him choking a game like this.

Mills = 42 Points 9 Assists

Great game by Australia.. I picked them going in, I feel like depth is super important in this type of game and Slovenia just lacks in that dept.

Luka tried at the end but too late and that tech really lost the game. Iirc it was a 4-5 point swing.

I am so unbelievably happy right now. It's been so long of heartache and this feeling is beyond words. This is the absolute extreme opposite of how I felt after Rio and that phantom call at the end of the Spain game.

As an Australian Bucks fan this has been a pretty great last couple of months.

Thybulle gave it back. Which is fair enough. Doncic could not score when Thybulle was on him. Defensive juggernaut and owned Doncic's soul this game.
