Sam Froling (16 points, eight rebounds), William McDowell-White (seven points, seven assists, four rebounds, two steals) and Mitch McCarron (seven points, three rebounds, four assists, three steals) all stuffed the stat sheet.
The Boomers, fresh off a sweep of their three World Cup qualifiers in Melbourne, started brilliantly to lead 52-26 at the main break.
