FIBA World Cup 2023: Xavier Cooks dominates for Australia in 109-89 win over Japan

The Australia men’s national basketball team has advanced to Group K in the second round of the 2023 FIBA World Cup. It isn’t just because they were in second place for Group E after a 109-89 win over Japan earlier today. Washington Wizards forward Xavier Cooks had a MONSTER GAME for the Boomers as well with a 24 point, 16 rebound performance.

Cooks was the most dominant force for the Boomers, making poster dunks and blocking two shots. Here are just two of the highlights.
