      Canada closed out pool play at (2-1) after being spanked 104-88 by Germany. With both teams seeking to pound the ball into the paint, Germany took a 32-28 lead after one quarter by exploiting Canada’s lax post defence. Maxime Meyer notched a putback and Spencer Ahrens a trey as Canada took a 35-33 lead. Then the wheels fell off. Canada began jacking contested treys early in the shot clock while Germany exploded for nine unanswered. Germany continued to feed Eric Reibe and Hannes Steinbach in the blocks, effectively attack off the dribble and find the open perimeter shooters as they expanded their lead to 57-41 at the half. Germany extended the margin to 23 before Canada briefly awoke from their extended slumber to claw back within 14. But the Germans closed out the frame with an 8-0 run to take an 85-63 lead after three quarters. Although Canada opened the final frame with a 7-0 run, they never seriously threatened.

      In the round of 16, full-court pressure proved the difference as Canada pounded Mali 100-75. Sloppy, unfocused ballhandling, dismal shooting and lax defensive transitions plagued Canada as Mali took a 17-15 lead after one quarter. But Abdul Aziz Olajuwon and Adriel Nyora nailed treys, while Canada’s defensive pressure began yielding dividends as the Canadians exploded with an 11-1 run to take a double-digit lead. Their propensity to dribble into traps and almost pathological unwillingness to pass the ball resurfaced as Mali clawed back within 37-31 at the half. The schizophrenia was maintained in the third quarter as Canada generated turnovers off their full-court pressure but indulged in casual ballhandling and dreary decision-making while taking a 64-56 lead into the final frame. Although Mali continued to effectively breakdown Canada off the dribble, they were entirely unable to handle full-court pressure as Canada rebuilt a double-digit lead, notching an 18-5 run to bury Mali’s hopes and coasting to the easy win.

      In the quarterfinals, the United States eked out a 108-102 win over Canada. The Americans easily broke Canada’s full-court pressure for runout layups as they took an early 17-9 lead. But Jordan Charles hit a trey, a mid-range jumper and a pair of free throws as Canada clawed back within 22-19. But the Americans began breaking Canada down off the dribble and built a 30-24 lead after one quarter. The U.S. capitalized on casual Canadian ballhandling and kept drawing fouls off penetration as they extended their lead to 12 before Tristan Beckford bookended a 11-0 run with a backford layup and a pair of treys, including a four-point play, as Canada rallied within 45-44. But A.J. Dybantsa ignited a 13-2 run in response as the Americans rebuilt their lead to double digits before Jaion Pitt intercepted the ball at midcourt and heaved a buzzer-beating trey to draw Canada within 61-54 heading into the lockers. Canada opened the second half with a 9-0 run to take a 63-61 lead as Spencer Ahrens hit a pair of treys and Adriel Nyorha a third bomb. Canada extended its lead to 69-64 on an Efeosa Oligou bucket off an inbounds pass, an Olivier Rioux slam and a Nyorah jumper. But the Americans countered with a 12-2 run as they capitalized on questionable Canadian shot selection. But Beckford notched a bucket in the paint, Charles a trey and Onyx Nnani an offensive tip as Canada rallied within 79-78 after three quarters. Morez Johnson kept Jr working free in the paint and Nikolas Khamenia notched a trey and a driving layup as the States rebuilt their lead to 95-89 midway through the final frame. Charles and Nyorha notched buckets in the paint as Canada drew within 95-94. But then the officials took command all but gifting the Americans their final 13 points down the stretch as the U.S. pulled out the win. A.J.

      In the fifth-place match, Canada dispatched Australia 75-72. Despite a sluggish start and casual ballhandling, Canada took a 22-15 lead after one quarter by dominating the defensive glass and hitting timely treys, including bombs by Spencer Ahrens, Tristan Beckford and Onyx Nnani treys. But Luke Fennell hit a pair from beyond the arc as Australia rallied within 29-27 while Canada struggled to resolve an Australia zone. Ahrens scored seven unanswered, including a mid-range jumper, a trey and putback rebound, as Canada rebuilt its lead to 36-29, before Che Dean Miller Brogan began breaking Canada down off the dribble and Dash Daniels nailed a trey at the buzzer to give Australia a 46-43 lead at the half. Canada opened the second half with a 15-4 run by effectively attacking the offensive glass, including putbacks by Tristan Beckford and Olivier Rioux, while Beckford added trey against an expiring shot clock and a slam off an inside feed. But selfish Canadian shot selection allowed Australia to rally within 60-57 after three quarters. Maxime Meyer notched a putback and a slam as Canada rebuilt a 65-59 lead and Matthew Dann notched a critical and-one off a putback as Canada took a 69-62 lead with 3:29 to play. Australia answered with a 6-0 run as point guard Jordan Charles kept coughing up the ball. But Dann hit a pair from the line with 1:18 to play and Beckford added two free throws with 11.5 seconds remaining on the clock. Fennell nailed another trey to draw Australia within 73-72 but Charles hit a pair from the line with 6.0 seconds to play as Canada pulled out the win.

      With three teams from pool B finishing in the top five, the final standings demonstrated obvious flaws in FIBA’s seeding procedures. Canada was arguably the third best team in the draw, having beaten bronze medalist Slovenia by 19 in pool play, and perhaps even the second best, having given the champion Americans their stiffest contest. Pool B teams finished 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 13th. Pool A teams finished 4th, 9th, 11th, 12th. The weak pool C teams 7th, 8th, 15th and 16th. Pool D teams finished 1st, 6th, 10th and 14th.

      The all-tournament team featured MVP A.J. Dybantsa (United States); Mikel Brown Jr (United States); Christian Anderson Jr (Germany); Hannes Steinbach (Germany); and Zak Smrekar (Slovenia).

      The 2nd-team featured Jordan Charles (Canada); Tama Isaac (New Zealand); Dayay Nessah (Switzerland); Roman Siulepa (Australia) and Tyler Kropp (Argentina).

      Jordan Smith Jr of the United States was chosen defensive player of the tournament, while Slovenia’s Danijel Radosavljevic was chosen coach of the tournament.
