A blistering second term by the United States has set up a 40-point victory over Australia, eliminating the Boomers from FIBA World Championship in Japan.

The Americans set up their 113-73 victory with a rampant 32-6 run in the second term for a 30-point lead by half-time after the Boomers trailed by just four points at quarter-time.

Budding star Andrew Bogut was the Boomers' top scorer with 20 points, while Brad Newley and Sam Mackinnon contributed 15 and eight respectively, and Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony landed 20 points for the victor.

The Americans were dangerous around the perimeter, and had converted 12 of 18 three-point opportunities as they carried a 39-point lead into the final term.

Despite Aaron Bruce posting the first four points of the final term, the Boomers could not erode the Americans' lead as they tumbled to a 40-point loss.

With the loss ending Australia's world championship campaign, the Boomers will be left to rue narrow losses to Greece and Turkey which could have resulted in Brian Goorjian's team facing a less formidable opponent in the second round.

The Americans will face Germany in the quarter-finals on Wednesday after it won a thriller against Nigeria by one point, 78-77.

The Germans led 78-71 with 2:33 remaining but Nigeria hit back to get within one point before Dirk Nowitzki, who scored a game-high 23 points after making seven from 18 from the field, stopped what would have been a match-winning lay-up by Ime Udoka with one second left in the match.

France sealed a 68-62 victory against African champion Angola after Aymeric Jeanneau sunk six free throws in the final 36 seconds to finish with a game-high 16 points.

The win has set up a clash with European champion Greece, which thumped China 95-64.

Theodoros Papaloukas scored 19 points for the undefeated Greeks, while Yao Ming was restricted to just 10 points.

The quarter-finals begin on Tuesday.
