The Australian women's basketball team survived a scare against Brazil before running out 78-75 winners in their pre-Olympics tournament in France.
The Opals had led by nine points at half-time, however the Brazilians fought back to carry a 57-56 advantage into the final term.
But the three-time Olympic silver medallists found enough to secure the victory with Belinda Snell again impressing with a 28-point haul.
The Opals remain undefeated in their pre-Olympic fixtures in Europe, having also beaten France, Great Britain, Angola and China.
They next meet France on Monday (AEST).
