Trey Lyles has been an unexpected contributor for Canada. The Saskatoon-born forward poured in 15 points in the win over Puerto Rico Sunday.
The final official tune-up for Canada's Olympic-bound men's basketball team unravelled as anyone would expect.
There were moments when the team looked tremendous and predictable lapses of intensity given the relatively unimportant stakes, but there was never really a doubt who would prevail.
Canada did win - 103-93 over Puerto Rico on Sunday and heads to Paris off two exhibition victories in France.
It was an understandable performance.
The Canadians started slowly, then dominated the middle portion of the game and led by 23 points in the third quarter. Puerto Rico made a run and closed the gap to five, but Canada shrugged off its malaise to lead by almost 20 again before Puerto Rico finished on a run.
