鈥淧hil made some plays in crucial moments and played very well after the first four minutes but we dominated them on the boards, we outrebounded them 46-28 and that鈥檚 really what did it.

Scrubb tied the game at 70 after connecting on a three-pointer in the final seconds and in the overtime period he continued to dominate on the offensive end. Scrubb scored seven consecutive points to open the final frame, giving Canada their first lead of the game. In the closing minutes, Canada maintained their intensity and refused to relinquish the lead, finishing the game with strong efforts on both sides of the ball.

Early turnovers hurt Canada to start the game, but as the quarter wore on the players calmed their nerves and began to play with more control. Warren Ward (Ottawa) led the team with four points in the first quarter.

Scrubb provided a great start to the second frame as he led Canada on an 8-0 run behind two three-pointers and a pair of foul shots. Argentina continued to attack the basket aggressively, but much improved defence from Canada limited Argentina鈥檚 effectiveness. The teams entered halftime with Canada trailing 39-34.

Canada opened the second half with the first basket, a jumper by Nathan Yu (Prince George, B.C.). Tyson Hinz (Ottawa) then added two baskets to help spark a run for Canada in which they took control of the glass. The team attacked the boards, corralling rebounds and limiting Argentina鈥檚 ability to get inside the paint and score second-chance points.

In the fourth quarter, Scrubb continued his impressive offensive performance. Canada began the frame with three consecutive three-pointers, two from Scrubb and one from Hinz.

Hinz, the son of former 缅北强奸 star Willie Hinz, finished with 13 points, and Ward netted six points to go along with his 10 rebounds.

Canada's next game will be against Mexico on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. local time (6:30 p.m. ET).
