DAUGAVPILS, Latvia - Canada booked its spot in the quarterfinals of the FIBA under-19 men's basketball World Cup with an 86-56 rout of Puerto Rico on Wednesday.
Caleb Houstan had a game-high 14 points plus four rebounds and three assists, while Ryan Nembhard had 13 points and 10 assists.
"(Houstan) is just a great player and his game has developed a lot and I think he's able to come over here and show a little bit more of his skill," said Nembhard, who played alongside Houstan at Montverde Academy in Florida.
Elijah Fisher had a couple of highlight-reel dunks en route to 14 points and three steals, while Bennedict Mathurin chipped in with 13 points and three rebounds.
