Canada only up 7 in the fourth! Choking up the lead in true Canadian fashion just like the Raptors!

Nothing to be nervous about now! Canada is up 77-60 with 3:46 left. Scrubb, Stauskas, Doornekamp, Ejim and Bennett playing great.

Watched the stream..

Cojo did ok. Got caught up in 1v1 game a little had offensive foul turnover.

Stauskas still looks a little lost. First half was terrible, made some bad turnovers. Hit a few 3's near the end, hopefully starts to find some confidence.

I thought Bennett played again with energy. Had the double double and was always active around the boards. Seemingly has his way in the paint.

Powell looked pretty good again, but got into foul trouble and had to be taken out.

Heslip once again did his thing. He knows his role and does it well.

I thought Ejim did a pretty good job. Played with energy. Seemed to have a positive role from the eye test. Not sure who the team is gonna cut. Haven't seen much of Hanlan, so I'm assuming he'll be the odd man out. Although there is still one game to go

Wiggins playing above the rim, his athleticism seems on another level than his opponents.
He also looks like he has another gear that he can turn it up to..

He really opens up the game for everybody else.

Agree that it isn't looking good for Hanlan. Staff seems to have made up its mind that Scrubb is the backup PG.

But I think it would be a significant mistake to cut Hanlan. It would mean going with only four guards. This could lead to issues if foul trouble, injuries, or general fatigue.
