The Australian Boomers’ 72-point win over Guam was the largest victory in FIBA World Cup Qualifying history.

It was a clinical display from Adam Caporn’s team, with a 31-8 final quarter capping off a dominant performance, winning 124-52.

On a night to remember, the Boomers also set another record by making 24 three-pointers.

Seven Australians connected from beyond the arc, led by Tyrese Proctor (6/11), Angus Glover (5/11) and debutant Bryce Cotton (4/9).

Playing his first game in the green and gold, Cotton finished with 18 points and five assists.

Australia now takes on the Philippines on Monday at 8:30pm AEST at RAC Arena.
