A win is a win, but this game wasn't exactly smooth sailing all the way through. Right off the tip, Canada got into some serious foul trouble when Gilgeous-Alexander picked up two fouls less than two minutes into the first quarter. He ended up sitting on the bench for most of the first half, but recovered well after.
It was a close game until Canada pulled away with mere minutes left in the final quarter. The lead changed 10 times in the first half alone, and Australia went into the halftime break up four points.
