Panama (2-4) takes on Canada (6-0) for a FIBA World Cup Qualifying game on Thursday, August 27, at Arena Roberto Duran in Panama City, Panama.
In their last matchup during the FIBA AmeriCup last year, Canada pummeled Panama with a 99-49 victory. Panama's offense couldn't do a thing in that game, as they even scored only four points in the third quarter. They shot a measly 32.7% clip from the field, and turned the ball over 17 times.
Meanwhile, Canada made 56.3% of their attempts, including 39.3% from the three-point line. Nate Darling led the way for the Canadians with his 22 points, while Leonard Miller and Kyle Wiltjer chipped in 13 apiece.
Canada is still undefeated through the first six games of qualifying. They're coming off another dominant 116-78 win against Jamaica last July.
The Canadians are also getting more quality reinforcement on Thursday, with proven NBA players like Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Lu Dort, and Kelly Olynyk joining the team.
As for Panama, this is a tough challenge for them. In their last three games, they have been beaten by double digits, including a 96-71 loss to Argentina. They need a win to stay in qualifying contention, but it's a difficult task.
