Canada played well in the opening game against Greece, winning 86-79. They controlled the game throughout all 40 minutes, justifying their heavy favorite status ahead of the contest. This was the sixth success in the last seven events for the Canadians, with the sole loss coming from the US team.
RJ Barrett led the way with 23 points and a very good shooting percentage, 7-for-9 for two, while Shai scored 21, though with seven assists and five boards. Dillon Brooks had 14. There was a lot of iso play in the Canadian team, but that’s because they have Shai who is one of the best attackers in the world.
The Aussies were strong against Spain, 92-80. Boys from down under had everything in their hands from the tip-off, using brutal force to muscle out the Red Fury. They had 16 rebounds more than the rivals, with Jock Landale being the dominant figure in the paint, with 20 points, nine boards, and five assists.
The other two NBA stars, Patty Mills and Josh Giddey were right behind. Mills was focused on scoring with 19 points, while Giddey had an all-around performance with 17 buckets, eight boards, and assists each.
