It’s down to win\u002Dor\u002Dgo\u002Dhome for Canada at the FIBA World Cup.
A 69-65 loss to Brazil after Canada had built a 10-point lead at the half means Canada must win Sunday’s game with Spain or its tournament is over.On the other hand, if they do win, they will advance from their group along with the winner of Latvia/Brazil and play one of Germany or Slovenia in their quarter-final matchup.
“We are a really good team when we run the floor, when we space the floor, when we touch the paint and we reverse the ball from side to side,” Fernandez said. “I thought we played the right way throughout the tournament and today we didn’t. It’s not just one specific player. It’s all of us as a group, me included. And if we do the next game, I like our chances.”Article content
