McDunkinWiggins Scores 24, Leads Canada To 85-74 Win Over Brazil
Behind a highly impressive performance from Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett, Team Canada defeated Brazil by a final score of 85-74 in the first round of the Nike Global Challenge.
Wiggins scored 24 points on 9-for-16 shooting from the floor (2-for-5 from distance).
Wiggins is two years younger than most players in the tournament, but showed the type of advanced all-around skills and athleticism that makes him one of the top prospects in the incoming class of 2014.
Bennett scored 15 points to go with a game-high 10 rebounds.
Canada will play USA East in the semifinals on Saturday, where Wiggins will be matched up against the likes of Ricardo Ledo, Omar Calhoun and Cameron Biedscheid.
Sim Bhuller had two first half dunks for Canada, but played just sparingly in the second half and was largely a non-factor. He will be matched center Nerlens Noel in the semifinal.
Tyler Ennis chipped in 14 points for Canada, while Dyshawn Pierre had 13 and five assists.
Brazil was led in scoring by Olintho Pereira, who had 18 points.
USA East defeated Chinese-Taipei by a final score of 89-79 in the first round of the 2011 Nike Global Challenge.
Cameron Biedscheid led USA East offensively, scoring 23 points on 10-for-15 shooting from the floor. Omar Calhoun chipped in 19 points and Ricardo Ledo scored 13.
James Robinson had six assists in 21 minutes.
Nerlens Noel controlled the interior on defense, blocking four shots, while Chris Obekpa had three blocks in 11 minutes.
