KEY POINTS:
The New Zealand men's basketball team has secured a morale-boosting 67-58 win over Australia in the third and final test of the Olympic qualifying series.
Tall Blacks guard Mark Dickel says it always good to beat Australia, especially on the opposition's home turf.
He says his team was desperate to win but it remains to be seen which players will return for the daunting repechage event in Europe next year.
