On Tuesday, Team Canada faced off with Team Australia in a match of undefeated teams in the group play stage.
On Tuesday Morning, the people of Oklahoma City did not need coffee to get out of bed. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's mid-range buckets were the jolt of energy needed too get out of bed as Team Canada faced off with Team Australia in a matchup of two unbeaten teams in Group A - what is being referred to as the Group of Death.
Giddey got the party started with one of the most impressive quarters of his basketball career - putting up ten points in the opening frame which led him to 15 point, four rebound and three assist half capped off by a jaw-dropping side-step triple. After double-digit lead changes in the first half, the third quarter was much of the same for each side - All that changed out of the locker room was a more physical approach from Team Canada defensively to help slow the Boomers.
Entering the Final Frame, Team Canada controlled just a two-point game. A strong run by Team Canada, especially with help from RJ Barrett, earned them an 11-point lead mid-way through the fourth period.
