Basketball: Jovial Bogut shines as Australia beat France

By Steve Keating RIO DE JANEIRO - Andrew Bogut's complaints over his Rio accommodation have received more attention than his troublesome knee but both seemed fine on Saturday as Australia opened the Rio Games men's basketball tournament with an 87-66 win over France. Bogut, who has been waging a battle to get back to full fitness since the Golden State Warriors center went down with a knee injury during the NBA Finals in June, looked strong as he poured in 18 points while dominating the paint. "I didn't know I'd have that kind of an impact in the first game," Bogut told reporters.
