There's apparently never been a triple double in the history of this tourney, and Giddey almost did it on the first day. They smashed Finland though and he sat most of the fourth I guess

The first half was close and I think Finland lead by 8 at some point, but Australia took over in the 2nd half. Good defense/forcing turnovers. They did a good job defending Markkanen.

Lu Dort is just a Canadian Sefolosha
