After winning six in a row at this level, (first time for Canada to win 6 in a row) Canada automatically moves into first place of their group at the next level of the battle for the Americas when games begin late in August. My understanding is that it now goes like the typical NBA playoff format in that Canada's first opponent will be the worst of the teams that have moved to that round, so they get an easier path to the finals.
Olynik and Powell played very well as bigs, while SGA and Kassious Robertson filled up the net. KR hit 8 threes. Nickeil Alexander-Walker came up big with a very balanced game, 11 points and some strong defense. Canada led from start to finish and won by just two points less than their 48 point margin in their last game against the US Virgin Islands. The Walker cousins fit in seamlessly with the rest of the squad and looked as if they had been playing together for years. The Scrubs played great D and forced numerous turnovers while also hitting some shots. The whole Canadian team was just on another level compared the the Virgin Islands, as they should be.
It's in my Clendar. As well as a reminder to remind YOU.
