The Oklahoma City Thunder sent Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Lu Dort to the Olympics in an attempt to bring a medal back to their home country, instead, the duo were upset by Team France in Victor Wembanyama.
Tuesday was a disastrous day in Team Canada's basketball history. A squad that felt destined to medal in the Paris games, has been ousted in the quarterfinal round against the home country, France.
Offensively, the strong drives by France got Team Canada in foul trouble early while their intimidating rim presence deterred the Canadians from even attempting to get to the ring until it was far too late. Guerschon Yabusele and Isaïa Cordinier had career nights at the perfect time. Yabusela just manhandled Team Canada down low while Cordinier lit it up from beyond the arc. Yabusela finished with 22 points while Cordinier earned 20 points in this upset win.
