The Australian Boomers Olympic journey has come to a disappointing end with a one point loss to Spain in the playoff for the bronze medal.

The team entered the tournament with a side believed to be the best chance of finally achieving a medal for the mens basketball team but failed to live up to the expectations when it mattered the most.

Tiwi islander Patty Mills,  again the standout for the Boomers with a team high 30 points was left rueing his teams chances after the game.
