Henshall fires as Boomers defeat Korea

The young Perth Wildcats guard contributed 16 points, eight rebounds and two assists in Australia's 98-75 victory over Korea in Goyang on Sunday.

Henshall shot four of six from the field to go with a perfect 100 per cent at the free-throw line, with Melbourne United sharpshooter Chris Goulding (31) the only Boomer to score more.

Former Wildcats big man Nick Kay (13 points and 12 rebounds) was another impressive performer as the Boomers made it two wins from as many starts during the FIBA break after a thrashing of Thailand on Thursday.

Hyrum Harris and the Tall Blacks are back in action against Chinese Taipei in Christchurch on Monday.

The Wildcats return from the FIBA break with a home double-header at RAC Arena against Brisbane on Friday night followed by New Zealand on Sunday afternoon.
