Andrew Wiggins and Canada survived their first test in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
Wiggins scored 23 points, RJ Barrett added 22 and Canada held off Greece 97-91 in Victoria, Canada, in the first game at that site's qualifier, one of four that began Tuesday.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 18 for Canada, which trailed by as many as eight points late in the first half. The Canadians took the lead for the good midway through the third quarter, then held on at the end.
Canada coach Nick Nurse, the coach of the Toronto Raptors, made clear that his team doesn't expect any game to be easy.
