“It’s amazing. It’s special. I don’t take those opportunities for granted to be able to play in front of the people that watched me grow up and are from the same city I’m from,” Gilgeous-Alexander said.

Andrew Nembhard added 23 points, four rebounds, and four assists, while Dillon Brooks contributed 15 points. Canada built an early lead and never looked back.
