Slovenia hit sixteen of 33 three-point attempts to rout Australia 87-58 Sunday in the round of 16 at the basketball world championship. Jaka Lokovic scored 19 points and made five of 11 three-pointers, with his first in the game's opening seconds sparking a 12-0 run. Slovenian guards cut into the Australian defense all game long for easy looks or passes to wide-open perimeter shooters.
