The Junior Men Handle Puerto Rico to Start In Brazil
Source: Raptors HQ - Jun 17, 2012 at 10:55 AM
The Junior Men's National Team seemed to start the FIBA Americas U18 Championships with a bang taking out Puerto Rico handily in their opening hame 77-51.
Now as an observer of the game, I figured that PR would provide a tough first game but it seems that I may have spoken too soon. Canada jumped out to a 24-10 lead to finish the first quarter and never looked back from there. The largest margin in the game would be when Canada held a 53-19 lead four minutes into the third quarter.
All I could say to this win was, "Wow".
I would have expected Canada to be competitive in the game but not dominate it like it
