Canada has beaten Spain 88\u002D85 to advance to the quarter\u002Dfinals of the FIBA men\u0027s Basketball World Cup.
But this time, it was finally a different ending. Even without Jamal Murray, Andrew Wiggins and other key players from its deep pool of talent, Canada had enough to do the job. New head coach Jordi Fernandez — inserted into the role only weeks before the tournament when Nick Nurse stepped down — continues to impress with his strategies and how he handles his team.
Some of the key moments late in the Canadian rally included an extremely tough layup by Gilgeous-Alexander which also earned him a trip to the line; overcoming Barrett fouling out late; Brooks hitting a three-pointer to tie the game with 1:16 remaining; and then forcing a Spanish player out of bounds for a turnover. But the dagger was Gilgeous-Alexander shaking off his defenders to nail an ice-cold step-back jump shot to give Canada its first lead since the first frame.
“It was special, one for the books,” Gilgeous-Alexander said of the play of Brooks. “He plays the game with the right energy … He was ready for the moment. Big-time game.”
