Canada and New Zealand kick off the 34th Basketball SuperCup in Germany as part of their preparations for the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
The Road Warriors are coming off an 86-81 loss to Germany in a tune-up game on Wednesday in Berlin. They were down big in the first half before storming back to tie the game toward the end of the fourth quarter. However, Franz Wagner sunk the Canadians with a clutch 3-point shot.
Meanwhile, the Tall Blacks have had two tune-up games in Japan earlier this month. They played against the Five Reds both times, losing the first game 79-72 before bouncing back with a 94-75 win two days later. New Zealand will be well-rested heading into their Canada matchup.
