One of the biggest upsets in Japanese basketball history.
During the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Asian Qualifiers, Japan stunned the previously unbeaten Australia 79-78 in front of a packed home crowd. Led by an incredible performance from Rui Hachimura, who finished with 24 points and 7 rebounds, alongside Nick Fazekas' dominant 25-point, 12-rebound double-double, Japan handed the Boomers their first loss of the Qualifiers.
The historic victory kept Japan's World Cup hopes alive and became the turning point of their remarkable Qualifiers campaign.
