Nice set to get Wiggins a post touch with a weakside double to occupy help. Ran it a couple of games back, but would be nice to see it ran more since Wiggins post game can be better utilized.

Canada "shorts" the PnR on their EOH action

Starting to think that's more fatigue. These guys have been playing a lot of basketball recently.

What is this now? 6th game is 7 days? Plus Tuto beforehand. I see now why Boston/Minni didn't want Wiggins/Olynyk playing both this and Pan AMs.

From the opening basket Panama playing cheap and dirty. I guess when you're a bottom feeder you'll stoop to anything.

Canada's gonna be a problem in a few years. A prime Wiggins as the go-to-guy, Joseph/Ennis and Murray running the point, great shooters like Stauskas and Heslip, Thompson and Olynyk doing the dirty work. Hopefully Bennett, Nicholson, Powell and Ejim continue to improve as well. I'm sure there are more in the pipeline. Is Thon Maker eligible to play for Canada?

These Panama clowns would be better off forfeiting. Hopefully there ready to get stomped for another 20 minutes.

Stauskas definitely regained his shooting rhythm. Canada going to be hard to stop now for the rest of the tourney.
