Bansley/Bukovec fall in straight sets to Kloth/Nuss. Luckily, three teams advance in the four team group stage, so they still have a chance to make it through.

I think Men's basketball team has to adapt to the FIBA game and not to attempt 3-pointers in hurry (at 10 seconds of the attack). They should "play more with the clock" when they have a difference and look for the easy shots near the basket

Hopefully this will be a good learning opportunity for the Canadian team.

 

They showed a lot of grit closing the game out, but they shouldn't have let Greece come back.

 

It was a very entertaining game
