Canada takes down Luka Dončić & Slovenia to advance to FIBA World Cup Semis w/ Nick Angstadt

Episode 1483

In Episode 1470, Sean Woodley is joined by Nick Angstadt (Locked On Mavs) for a little crossover episode to react to Canada's 100-89 win over Luka Dončić and Slovenia in the quarterfinals of the FIBA World Cup, setting up a semifinal matchup between Canada and Serbia on Friday. Off the top, Sean and Nick discuss Luka's ejection and incessant complaining, and the biggest reasons why Canada was able to pull away in the second half after a super close and entertaining opening 20 minutes. Next, Sean and Nick dig into some of the tactical elements of the game, from Canada going super small, to Slovenia losing the plot in the third quarter as Canada's athelticism and transition attack took over. Lastly, they dig into what's next on deck for Canada in their tilt with Serbia, whether Dončić will play out the string as Slovenia goes into the consolation pool -- with no shot to secure a spot in the 2024 Olympics having suffered the loss, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looking like the front runner for tournament MVP and more!
