    Australia have completed a clean sweep of the Tall Blacks in their two basketball World Cup qualification games


    The Boomers rallied back from 10 points down in the fourth quarter to stun their hosts 79-77 in game two in Wellington.

    Australian coach Dean Vickerman was full of praise for his opponents.
