       Canada opened by clocking Germany 77-52. Germany led 21-11 early by aggressively attacking the paint. But Mahliq Guiseppe-Kitson notched a driving baseline slam to ignite an 8-0 run as Canada drew within 21-19 after one quarter. With the score knotted at 30, Canada elevated its defensive pressure and Patrick Anamali nailed a trey to trigger a 12-0 run before a late Declan Duru slam drew Germany within 42-32 heading into the lockers. Quinten Ethier notched a pair from beyond the arc and a pair from beyond the line as Canada extended its lead to 50-32 to open the second half. With Ethier continuing to drain treys, Canada led 61-37 after three quarters and by as many as 34 while coasting to the easy win. “It took us a while to reveal our defensive identity the first few minutes,” said coach Chris Cheng. “It wasn’t until the second unit came in to apply the defensive pressure we needed that our defensive pressure generated points for us, and this carried forward throughout.” Jordan Charles said “I feel like the exhibition games really helped us. It really builds a lot of team chemistry, and with the players from last year, we can keep building from there.” Quinten Ethier paced Canada with 22 on 1-1 from the floor, 6-11 from the arc, 2-3 from the line and 8 boards.

Maxime Meyer scored 2 on 1-2 from the floor, 3 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals, while Tristan-James St. Louis was scoreless and Paul Osaruyi did not play. Canada hit 29-74 (.392) overall, 19-44 (.432) from the floor, 10-30 from the arc and 9-11 (.818) from the line, while garnering 41 boards, including 14 on the offensive glass, 19 assists, 15 fouls, 13 turnovers, 17 steals and 3 blocks.

       Canada improved to (2-0) by rallying in the second half to overcome a double-digit deficit to defeat Egypt 72-63 in a very poorly-officiated affair. Egypt led 7-0 early and 22-14 after one quarter after draining five treys in the frame. The Egyptians extended their margin to 15 by repeatedly breaking Canada’s pressure for transition buckets. But Miles Sadler kept breaking Egypt down off the dribble as Canada rallied to within 38-31 at the half. Saddler and post Maxime Meyer began effectively and repeatedly executing the pick-and-roll as Canada took its first lead at 43-42 before Egypt rebuilt a 51-50 edge after three quarters. Jordan Charles hit a runner and Meyer a bucket in the blocks as Canada took a 57-51 lead early in the final frame. The Egyptians knotted the score at 59. But Quinten Ethier and Saddler answered with treys and Canada closed it out with a 7-0 run from Saddler, featuring two free throws, a trey off a fierce offensive board from Stefan Ilic and a driving layup. Saddler said the second half rally was achieved “mainly by talking and being vocal on the court…knowing that we are a team, I need my guys to feel at their best and be encouraged to play the game. They responded well, and that really pushed us to win today. Their energy also made me play well and made me comfortable while I was on the court with such a close game.” Coach Chris Cheng said “the exhibition games in Spain prepared us for that moment. We have been down before and learned what we needed to do to climb back. Credit to the players for sticking with the plan.” Miles Sadler paced Canada with 30 on 7-9 from the floor, 2-6 from the arc, 10-11 from the line, 3 boards, 7 assists and 3 steals. Maxime Meyer added 12 on 6-7 from the floor, 5 boards and 3 steals. Jordan Charles notched 11 on 3-10 from the floor, 1-6 from the arc, 2-2 from the line and 5 boards.

       Canada closed out pool play at (2-1) after falling 72-61 to Australia. Australia effectively broke Canada down off the dribble, while capitalizing on Canadian ballhandling miscues, to take a 23-18 lead after one quarter. Canada kept driving the ball into 3 or 4 defenders and turning over the ball as Australia extended its lead to 13 before a late 6-0 run featuring a pair of Jordan Charles buckets and a buzzer-beating putback by Kole Grandison trimmed the margin to 39-32 at the half. Indy Cotton notched a trey and a runner as Australia rebuilt a double-digit lead while Canada appeared befuddled by switching and man-to-man defences. But Quinten Ethier and Mahliq Guiseppi-Kitson notched late treys to draw Canada within 52-51 after three quarters. The disciplined Australians took command in the final frame as they broke Canada with crisp ball movement for easy looks, while the Canadian indulged in hasty and questionable shot selection. Australia quickly rebuilt a double-digit lead and coasted to the win. “If we can put together long spurts of our style play, we always give ourselves a chance,” said coach Chris Cheng.

       In the round of 16, Canada defeated Argentina 77-71. Argentina led 8-2 early and 12-11 after the sluggish and sloppy first quarter, in which Canada took nearly 7 minutes to notch a field goal, a corner trey by Stefan Ilic. The offences slowly began to find a measure of rhythm midway through the second frame as Argentina built a 24-25 lead. But Miles Saddler hit a trey and baseline runner, Jordan Charles a trey and two free throws, and Patrick Anamali a dunk as Canada rallied to knot the score at 34 at the half. Argentina led 43-42 when Canada took command as Tutjiek Wal hit a six-foot floater to ignite a 13-2 Canadian run before a late trey by Matias Domine trimmed the margin to 55-48 heading into the final frame. Canada extended its lead to 12 before Argentina answered with an 8-1 run. Saddler hit a pair of elbow jumpers to stem the bleeding and Canada held on for the win the ensuing parade to the foul line. Paul Osaruyi said “I think some of the things that we have done well as a group this week is playing together, whether it’s on the defensive end or offensive and, you know, just being able to compete and come in with high energy.” Coach Chris Cheng said “we celebrated individuals that stepped up tonight, like TJ Wal, who helped us get a big win.” Miles Sadler paced Canada with 18 on 5-9 from the floor, 2-4 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 3 boards and 4 assists. Jordan Charles added 18 on 1-4 from the floor, 2-2 from the arc, 10-15 from the line, 2 boards, 2 assists and 5 steals.

       In the quarterfinals, the United States outclassed Canada 111-60.

       In the 5-8th consolation round, Canada dropped a 106-104 overtime decision to Lithuania. Although the Canadian offence was marginally more effective, Canada’s weaknesses – defensive transitions and boxouts, careless ballhandling and periodically non-existent perimeter defence – were shamelessly exploited by the Lithuanians as they strode to 21-20, 40-34 and 69-63 leads at the quarters. The Lithuanians led by as many as 14. But a Jordan Charles trey-and-one late in the third quarter appeared to ignite the stagnant Canadian offence. They rallied to a 63-62 lead before the Lithuanians closed out the frame with a 7-0 run. Canada’s full-court pressure began yielding dividends as they rallied to an 81-77 lead. But Lithuania kept draining treys, including a bomb by Majus Bulanovas with 36.9 seconds to play, to take an 88-85 lead. Quinten Ethier answered with a trey with 26 seconds on the clock to force overtime. Lithuania kept draining treys as they took a 97-93 lead in the extra session and Mantas Liutkevicius took command down the stretch, hitting a driving layup and a pair of free throws as the Lithuanians pulled out the win at the line. Canada forced a turnover with 2 seconds to play but a desperation trey at the buzzer by Charles was blocked by Arturas Butajevas. Ignas Urbonas paced Lithuania with 22 on 5-6 from the floor, 3-7 from the arc, 3-5 from the line, 6 boards and 2 blocks.

       In the 7th-place playoff, Spain clipped Canada 80-71. Spain’s crisp ball movement and unselfish play resulted in leads of 20-19 after one quarter and 42-33 at the half as Canada continued its tournament-long problems with free throw shooting, defensive transitions and boxouts. The Spaniards expanded their lead as Canada continued to be heavily reliant on its’ penetrate-and-rarely-pass or jack-it-at-the-first-opportunity offence. But Jordan Charles and Stefan Ilic each notched treys, while Kole Grandison hit a pair of elbow jumpers and a driving layup as Canada rallied to within 54-52 after three quarters. Spain quickly rebuilt a double-digit lead in the fourth as they kept pounding the ball into the paint or racing for transition layups.
