Patrick Mills sank the winning 3-pointer at the final buzzer to give Australia a dramatic 82-80 victory over previously unbeaten Russia on Monday at the Olympic men's basketball tournament.
The San Antonio Spurs have re-signed Mills. The Spurs announced the move Friday without disclosing terms.
The Scoop:The 6-foot Australian was signed by the Spurs on March 27. He played in 16 games, three of them starts, and averaged 10.3 points, 2.4 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 16.3 minutes.
Mills had career highs of 34 points and 12 assists as the short-handed San Antonio Spurs beat the Golden State Warriors 107-101 on Thursday night.
The Scoop:Mills took over the scoring load for San Antonio after the team sent its Big Three of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker home on Wednesday to rest for the postseason. Coach Gregg Popovich also missed the finale while tending to a personal matter.
