OPALS
LAUREN Jackson produced easily her best basketball of the Olympic Games today to steer the Opals to a 96-73 victory over Latvia in Beijing.
The Australian superstar scored an effortless 30 points, including five three-pointers, to keep the Opals undefeated in their best game of the campaign.
In just the sort of contest Australia needed ahead of its final group match against Russia on Sunday and then the medal rounds, Latvia pushed it in the
first half before a scorching 35-18 third quarter swung the game the Opals’ way.
Lauren Jackson was effective in Australia’s three previous games, but was missing some of her usual spark. She was struggling a little offensively after
coming into the Games still overcoming a minor ankle problem.
There will be stunning jewellery worn by some of the famous athletes, of course there will be many spectators, rich people, royal family prime ministers and presidents wearing very expensive Australian gem quality black Opal along with beautiful Australian Opal Crystal.
