After its big victory against the French team, Canada crushed Lebanon 73-128 after a very serious and applied game despite the weakness of the opponent. The executives quickly folded the meeting and Canada is positioned perfectly for the second round, it’s not fun at all.
The complete statistics of this All-Star Game Canada-Lebanon
No time to fool around for Canada. After having humiliated the French team two days ago, the merry Canadians had a blast against Lebanon this afternoon by winning 128-73. Hyper serious and diligent, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander quickly took control of the game against a Lebanese team that clearly does not play in the same court.
A 3-point address (18/30 at 60% on the match) of the big days, applied and inspired executives like RJ Barrett (17 points) and a serious defense for 40 minutes… so that’s it an “easy” game?
Easy yes, because Canada was obviously three levels above its opponent. But easy ESPECIALLY because from the start the 5th major Canadian put the gouache and did not take this meeting over the leg. Intensity, defense, physicality and skill. A full-bodied cocktail for Lebanese who have eaten string on string and dunks on dunks. Dillon Brooks (12 points today) made Dillon Brooks by sending in particular a 3-point step back before halftime which offered him the possibility of still being able to flex well.

Once the match won, the Canadians brought in their second knives throughout the last quarter. The opportunity in particular to see Zach Edey one of the most promising prospects of NCAA – at work. The icing on the cake, the young giant (2m24) slammed 12 points with a clinical 6/6 and spread a beautiful technical palette at the post.
On the Lebanese side, we still note that – despite his passion for rillettes – Omari Spellman still has his hands full with basketball with 16 points including two nice and-ones.
In short, a formality passed with flying colors by the Canadians who, with seriousness, outclassed a team from Lebanon who did what they could. Canada sees the second round serenely, Lebanon will play France on Tuesday to try to save the honor, but do not push either.
