Canada played Chile in a game that was gearing up to be the first real test of the season for the strong Canada squad. The first three games were absolute cakewalks. This game? More of the same as Canada walked off the court with 34 point victory over the usually strong Chile team. It was a very satisfying game for Canada and especially manager Bballin who seemed nervous at the start of the game, but that feeling vanished when Canada ran out to a 23 point halftime lead. The third quarter was more of the same and with 1:26 left in the third even the commentators were agreeing, "It looks like that we're now in garbage time" and all the substitutes were put into the game.
Canada had a very balanced attack as Barbiroli led the game with 25 points in 32 minutes on 19 shots. It was his best offensive game of the season. Arsenault had 15 points on 9 shots and 6 rebounds in 27 minutes. Whilst Dock and Donato chimed in with 14 points each. Donato had 14 points after 16 minutes where he then fouled out, allowing Barbiroli to have his great performance.
Canada improves to 4-0 and is now second place and plays the other 4-0 team USA next week in the biggest game of the season yet. The Canada vs USA rivalry continues with two new managers at the helm, come out on Monday and see who will win this seasons meeting!
