SAITAMA, Japan — Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points and the United States took a 30-point halftime lead in beating Australia 113-73 on Sunday to advance to the quarterfinals of the FIBA world championships.

The U.S. (6-0) will play Germany (5-1) on Wednesday, and Greece (6-0) will meet France (4-2).

In Tuesday's quarterfinals, Argentina (6-0) faces Turkey (5-1), and Spain (6-0) plays Lithuania (4-2).

Joe Johnson added 18 points, and Dwyane Wade had 15 for the Americans, who allowed Australia (2-4) only two field goals and six points in the second quarter. The United States shot 54 percent from the field for the game, including 14 of 27 from three-point range, and led by as many as 42 points.

"We wanted to make a statement coming into the round of 16," said forward Chris Bosh, who grabbed a game-high nine rebounds.

The Americans outscored Australia 32-6 in the second quarter, and it wasn't that close.

"The second quarter, we kind of took off and had the game in hand from that point," Wade said.

Andrew Bogut, the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NBA draft who just completed his rookie season with the Milwaukee Bucks, led Australia with 20 points. After a strong start, he was scoreless for a stretch of more than 15 minutes, when the Americans outscored the Australians 45-14.

Australia was within two points after Brad Newley's dunk with 1:41 remaining in the first quarter. But by the time C.J. Bruton made the next basket, the Australians had gone nearly nine minutes without a field goal.

Shane Battier hit four three-pointers and scored 12 points, while Bosh had 12 for USA.

"Today was the best we played as a unit, with everyone making the extra pass, getting the guys the best shot possible," Wade said. "When you do that, it makes your team play that much better because everyone feels good, everyone's involved, one through 12. That's what we're looking for."

Asked if the U.S. is unbeatable when its shots are falling, Johnson replied, "No doubt. When our shots are falling and when they're not falling.

"I think our biggest opponent is ourselves right now," Johnson said.

In other games Sunday, Germany beat Nigeria 78-77, France beat Angola 68-62, and Greece beat China 95-64.
