Canada had a 48-45 lead with Philip Scrubb scoring 16 points in the first 20 minutes and finishing the game with 27 points and 7/8 threes. Khem Birtch, the new addition in the roster of the Greek champs Olympiacos who is expected to travel to Athens tomorrow, also played for Canada and had 12 points and 7 rebounds. Former no1 draft pick and now free agent Anthony Bennett had 21 points in 22 minutes.
