The Rockets forward thrived for Canada in their first Olympic victory since 2000.
Canada's men's basketball team hasn't had an Olympic victory since the games were played in Sydney in 2000. They hadn't even made the tournament since then. Last summer in the Philippines, the team came away with a bronze medal and a bid to the tournament.
In the team's first contest in the tournament, Canada downed Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece 86-79, earning big help from the Rockets forward. Brooks posted 14 points on 4-of-9 shooting, knocking down three of his four 3-pointers attempted. He added six rebounds, one assist and one steal in his 24 minutes logged in the game.
