Canadian women's basketball team beats South Korea to even record. MORE:
SAITAMA, Japan — A theme in the aftermath of Canada's opening loss to Serbia in the Olympic women's basketball tournament is that few teams go the length without losing."It's a long tournament, everybody's journey is different," said Canadian guard Kia Nurse."If that is the depth that we get to, rock bottom, we'll take it in that first game versus later in the tournament.
Achonwa is playing in Tokyo after missing the last 10 WNBA games for Minnesota with a sprained medial collateral ligament in her right knee, and looked more comfortable than she had earlier in the week. But Canada coughed up what could play out to be a costly narrow loss to Serbia in the team's first major international game together since clinching an Olympic berth way back in February of 2020 in Belgium.
"I think it starts with our defence, our tenacious aggression, on the ball, off the ball, talking, flying around, just playing together," Carleton said."And that's what translates into transition and easier looks on the offensive end, and everyone touching the ball and is moving. We get our energy from our defence. So that's what we pride ourselves in."
