S\ufeffpain<\/a> and the Boomers<\/a> have been involved in a heated exchange during the latter's win in their opening clash at Paris 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Referees called a foul on Spain's Usman Garuba late in the first term after an illegal screen where he dropped the shoulder on Josh Green.<\/p>\n

Garuba and Green then exchanged words before Will Magnay gave the Spaniard a gentle push in the back. Garuba then took exception, pushing Green aggressively.<\/p>\n

\ufeffA number of Boomers players then ran in before Garuba pushed Josh Giddey as the Spaniard continued to exchange verbal blows.<\/p>\n

"They need to be very careful because they can be very whistle happy with the argy-bargy," Andrew Gaze said on Nine's coverage.<\/p>\n

"It didn't look like there was a whole lot in it."<\/p>\n

The referees then reviewed the footage with unsportsmanlike conduct called against Garuba and Magnay.<\/p>\n

The Boomers were leading \ufeff28-17 at the time and held on for a 31-21 scoreline at the end of the first term.<\/p>\n

Spain began to fight back in the second term, trailing only 49-42 at the break.<\/p>\n

That period brought about another flash point with two and a half minutes to go when \ufeffMagnay was flattened by Willy Hernangomez but the Boomers star was judged to have fouled the Spaniard for a block.<\/p>\n

\"'That<\/p>\n

"That is ridiculous, that to me is not a block. It's fundamentally sound … defensively he squared up, he hits him right in the chest and some way or another they've called a block," he said on Nine's coverage.<\/p>\n

"That's hard to figure out how they've come up with a block."<\/p>\n

The third term was even closer, with Spain holding a 56-54 lead at one point thanks to Santi Aldama's three-point jump shot.<\/p>\n

However, the Boomers returned to the lead ahead of the final term at 69-60. \ufeff<\/p>\n

During the last period, Spain kept threatening with the score 75-71 in favour of Australia with five minutes left but it wasn't enough as the Boomers finished 92-80 winners.<\/p>\n

\ufeffJock Landale was one of the best with 20 points while Patty Mills finished with 19. Duop Reath was unused by coach Brian Goorjian.<\/p>\n

For Spain, Aldama caused the most trouble for the Aussies, scoring 27 points. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Overall, it wasn't the most polished performance from both sides with Australia conceding 16 turnovers as opposed to Spain's 13. \ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
