Nice set to get Wiggins a post touch with a weakside double. Rip screen by Stauskas forced his man late to recover.

Wiggins is on a different level than anyone else on the floor right now.

Sweet hesi by Stauskas to freeze his defender in transition to get to the basket

Staukas has great shooting motion but is rushing his shot. Hopefully he can get some rhythm during the round robin.

Does point differential count in this tournament?

Glad Powell is showing a little defense today. He was getting destroyed yesterday.

Yes, but the results against Cuba likely get dropped going into the second round as they will likely be eliminated.

Lol, I almost feel guilty listening to the huddle. If anyone is watching the FIBA feed, you're basically part of the huddle during the break at times lol. I listened to everything Jay Triano said.

Team Canada and the rest of the teams should be against that lol.
