Canadian women's 3x3 basketball team improves to 2-0 in Paris with win over China




Canada improved to 2-0 in the Olympic women's 3x3 basketball tournament with a dominating 21-11 win over China on Wednesday at Place de la Concorde.

Paige Crozon, of Humboldt, Sask., and Michelle Plouffe, of Edmonton, paced the Canadian attack with seven points each.

"It's great to have two wins to start the tournament. China is an awesome team, so big, so physical," Crozon said. "We had a lot of energy and were able to get some defensive stops which helped us down the stretch."

Katherine Plouffe, Michelle's twin sister, chipped in with five points.

Canada shot 7-for-13 from the floor, and 5-for-12 from beyond the arc. In 3x3 basketball, a field goal from beyond the arc is worth two points, while a field goal from inside the arc is worth one.

Canada, which started its campaign on Tuesday with a 22-14 win over Australia, was scheduled to play Germany later Wednesday.
