Australia views this as its time to finally be standing on the medal podium when the Olympics are over. Patty Mills scored 24 points, Jock Landale added 18 and Australia pulled away Saturday for an 89-76 victory over Germany and an undefeated finish to group play. The Australians went 3-0 to win Group B, a balanced pool where they, Italy and Germany all played competitive games against each other. Mills scored, fed Kay for a basket and then Landale scored for a 6-0 run that pushed a five-point lead to 83-72 with about 4 1/2 minutes to play. Australia will open the quarterfinals Tuesday needing a victory and then one more to win its first Olympic medal.
