Later in the day, Slovenia suffered a 67-64 loss to group winners Lithuania to finish second.
But, by finishing third, Australia moved further away from the United States in the knockout rounds.
If Slovenia beat the Dominican Republic in the round of 16, they will face the USA in the quarter-finals while Australia cannot meet the tournament favourites until the last four.
Dragic, who plays for the Phoenix Suns in the NBA, said FIBA should take action.
