In their opener, Canada clipped the Dominican Republic 63-57. Despite a 12-0 Dominican Republic run and a 7-point deficit, Canada led 16-15 after one quarter. Canada trailed by 9 in the second quarter but rallied with its own 12-0 run to knot the score at 31 at the half on a late trey by Quinten Ethier. A Jordan Charles 4-point play gave Canada a 46-43 lead after three quarters. Charles said “what was said was ‘we need to play defence and crash boards’. We did that in the rest of the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter. That’s how we came out with the win. … When I got subbed in (in the third quarter), the only thing on my mind was ‘let’s get the win for the team, and the country’.” Coach Chris Cheng said Paul Osaruyi’s double-double was critical. “What Paul was today is what we expect of him every day. He still has a lot to learn on how he can impact the game at both ends and that learning will come quickly playing this many games in a short tournament.” Paul Osaruyi paced Canada with 14 on 5-13 from the floor, 0-1 from the arc, 4-4 from the line, 11 boards and 4 blocks.

In their second contest, Canada dispatched Uruguay 75-65 to improve their pool record to (2-0). Canada took a 22-16 lead after one quarter as Quinten Ethier nailed a trio from beyond the arc. Canada led 38-33 at the half and 51-49 after three quarters but Uruguay rallied to a 62-55 lead with six minutes to play as Canada struggled to resolve a zone defence. But Kamai Samuels promptly took command, scoring 7 straight points as Canada rallied to know the score at 62. Godson Okokoh drilled a trey with 2:27 to play. Isaiah Headly-Smith notched a putback and Okokoh a pair of free throws as Canada ripped off a 7-0 run and pulled away for the win. “It was great,” Samuels said. “To be able to take initiative and lead the team down the stretch was definitely something that needed to be done and I felt like I could do it so it was an all-around great moment. … “Offensively, we found a great rhythm and executed our plays, and on the defensive end we were disciplined and made them force up tough shots which led to us flowing the rest of the way.” Coach Chris Cheng said “I’ve been telling the team that ‘This is a game of runs’. We can’t get too low when we’re down or too high when we’re up. Defend, rebound and execute is what we have been preaching and if the team continues to respond to what we have been asking them to do while being better in our physicality, we will put ourselves in a good position.” Kamai Samuels paced Canada with 17 on 6-14 from the floor, 1-7 from the arc, 2-5 from the line, 10 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals.

Canada closed out pool play atop the field at (3-0) by clocking Brazil 74-56. Despite shooting poorly from the arc and the free throw line, Canada dominated the offensive glass and led 18-12 after the ragged first quarter. Canada’s length repeatedly disrupted Brazil’s offence and the Canadians often outhustled the Brazilians for loose balls as they extended the margin to 35-26 at the half. Canada extended it’s lead to 16 midway through the third quarter before Brazil rallied with an 8-0 run by capitalizing on sloppy and indifferent ballhandling. Paul Anamali countered with a pair of dunks as Canada rebuilt a 51-38 lead after three quarters. Canada kept jacking ill-advised treys or heaving the ball into the stands as Brazil rallied with an 11-0 run to trim the margin to four. But Elijah Patterson notched a pair of treys, as well as a putback-and-one, to re-instill a measure of composure into the Canadian ranks and they pulled away down the stretch. “I knew we needed a lot of energy and defensive effort so I tried to bring as much of it as possible, and it just happened to help me feel more comfortable offensively and start hitting shots,” Patterson said. Coach Chris Cheng said “Elijah stayed competitive. He stayed in the moment. He didn’t have a good three quarters but he stayed in the moment. He showed how competitive he is. That’s why he was able to perform — just by being present and not dwelling on his play in the first three quarters.” Paul Osaruyi paced Canada with 21 on 8-15 from the floor, 1-2 from the arc, 2-4 from the line and 11 boards.

Coach Chris Cheng said called it a game of runs. “we can’t get too high or too low. We need to stick with the game plan and execute throughout. We didn’t do that for the majority of the game and it showed. On the flip side, when we did, we got success. Game plan execution is needed for all four quarters. … We focus on winning habits. A lot of that has to do with the little things like effort. We are focused on what we can control.

Despite a dreary shooting performance, Canada dominated the boards in the second half while dispatching Argentina 65-58 in the semi-finals. Canada broke to a 9-2 lead on a pair of aggressive takes by Kamai Samuels, including a blistering drive into the paint for a dunk. But Argentina rallied to a 14-11 lead by breaking Canada down off the dribble and capitalizing on Canadian passing miscues for easy runouts, before Canada closed out the first quarter with a 5-0 run featuring a Samuels putback and driving dunk by Patrick Anamali.

In the final, the United States torched Canada 118-36. Canada broke to a 5-0 lead on a Quinten Ethier trey and a driving layup from Maxandre Calixte.
