Nembhard finished the game with 18 points on 8-for-10 shooting and led Canada in efficiency with 19. Gilgeous-Alexander had previously named him as the most surprising player on the squad. He stuck to his words after the tough win. “I would say the same thing. I knew he was good, obviously. Didn’t know he was this good,” Shai smiled. “He’s a really talented player, he works hard. Super poised, can pass, can do a lot of things on the basketball court to hurt you. Whatever team has him, it’s lucky to have him.” “He was aggressive, and he just took what [the] defense gave him. He never forced it. That’s what makes him him,” Gilgeous-Alexander explained. Source: BasketNews

Crazy stat via Josh Su, who is helping on the comms side for @canball in France: Canada’s starters — SGA, Brooks, RJ, Powell and Dort — have outscored opponents by 39 points in 25 minutes through three games. They’ve held opponents to 21.4% (9/42 FG) shooting from the field. – 7:11 PM

RJ Barrett, who hit the dagger for Canada today, has 63 points through 3 games, the most by a Canadian to start the Olympics since Bernard Pickell in 1956.
At 24, he’s the youngest player on the team. The 2nd-youngest, Andrew Nembhard, was arguably its best player today (18 pts) – 4:12 PM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
That last 3 seconds of Canada-Spain was fascinating. First Spain calls its last timeout to set up a play in case SGA makes FT. Why would you not call the TO after the make to advance the ball. And then if you’re Canada and you know you they can’t call a TO, why not miss purposely – 1:44 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
The most any player played in any game for Canada was RJ vs. Greece, 32+ minutes. SGA played 30+ in that game. Only two times any player played >30.
On downside, might make their QF tougher. On bright side, everyone should be very fresh – 1:43 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
88-85 @CanBball men over Spain, eliminating one of the great international programs of all time. Spain did what they needed to keep it very close — led in 3s (10-6) and offensive rebounds (17-8), plus great bench play. SGA with 20, Nembhard with 18 off the bench. – 1:10 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Andrew Nembhard was really good off the bench for Canada in a 88-85 win over Spain. He finished with 18pts (8/10 shooting), 1reb and 2asts.
Canada went 3-0 in a difficult pool. – 1:07 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Canada survives and wins Group A, going 3-0. Final: 88-85 over Spain. What a game. Top-3 seed for Canada in quarterfinals.
Andrew Nembhard with a star-level outing: 18 points, 1 rebound, two assists, one steal. 8/10 from the field, just one turnover. – 1:05 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Andrew Nembhard was really good off the bench for Canada in a 88-85 win over Spain. He finished with a game-high 19pts (8/10 shooting), 1reb and 2asts.
Canada went 3-0 in a difficult pool. – 1:05 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
SGA, penetration, makes right play for corner 3. Simple basketball, way better than the previous 2 possessions. – 12:57 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Tough break for Canada, but also the right call. SGA kicked out on the jumper. Spain within 2 inside the final minute. – 12:56 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Andrew Nembhard is dominating this game and now causing some angst for Spain. Among the best players in this game. 14 points. – 12:39 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Man, Sergio Llull is really struggling with this pressure from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. – 12:21 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Just a tremendous half of team defense for @CanBball men as they hold Spain to 38 per cent shooting and 3/19 from 3. Spain has got to line 11 times b/c of a couple of fouled 3-point shooters, but otherwise breathing room limited. Canada 58% from floor, 5/8 from 3. SGA w 13. – 12:06 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Canada up 49-38 at the half. Great defensive half. SGA has 13, Brooks has 9, Spain 3-16 from 3P. – 12:01 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Bit of an ugly half until Gilgeous-Alexander decided to takeover late in the 2nd quarter. 13 points for SGA. Canada’s starters have been excellent, especially on D – they’ve forced a couple of 24s violations and held Spain to 38% shooting (3-19 3P). Canada leads 49-38. – 12:00 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
49-38 Canada at halftime. SGA is cooking again – and on both ends. Andrew Nembhard: 8 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists so far. – 12:00 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
SGA is a bad, bad man. Spain giving him physicality, he’s either bullying through for basket, or gaining advantage for teammates. – 11:51 AM
Tony East @TonyREast
Andrew Nembhard feeling it. Just quick released a corner three that was lightly contested. Drilled it. He has 8 points and 1 assist already. – 11:44 AM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Spain closes the 1st quarter on a 13-7 run. They’re out-rebounding Canada 11-6. SGA and Brooks with 5 points apiece. The veteran Llull with 6 in 3 minutes off Spain’s bench. Tied at 19. – 11:37 AM
