France and Canada both won their second straight game at the Olympics on Tuesday.
Timberwolves players Rudy Gobert and Nickeil Alexander-Walker moved to 2-0 in the Paris Olympics with victories on Tuesday, cementing their spots in the knockout stage.
This was a strong game for Gobert, who was huge for France down the stretch. He finished with 7 points, a team-high 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. Gobert had two crucial assists in the final minutes and was massive on the glass in overtime. Victor Wembanyama had 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists to lead France. It was an inspired effort from Japan, who lost star player Rui Hachimura to a very questionable ejection in the second half.
Earlier on Tuesday, Canada beat Australia 93-83. Alexander-Walker played nine minutes off the bench for a stacked Canada team, missing both of his shots. R.J. Barrett led the way with 24 points for Canada, which leads Group A and will play Spain on Friday.
