Giannis Antetokounmpo was eliminated from Olympic play with Greece’s defeat to Croatia on Friday, but one of his Milwaukee Bucks teammates has had better fortune.
Tyler Ennis continued to start at point guard for Canada as his national team matched up with New Zealand in Manilla on Saturday, and the 21-year-old guard saw his team put in another good performance to seal their place in the final of the Olympic qualifying competition taking place in the Philippines.
Having topped a group that included Turkey and Senegal, the Canadians had every reason to be confident heading into their semi-final matchup and showed strong resolve to overcome a well-drilled New Zealand team and remain undefeated.
