Canada got their revenge on Germany in the SuperCup Finals on Sunday. After losing to the Germans earlier in the week, Canada sneaked out a comeback win in overtime 113-112 in Hamburg.
RJ Barrett led all scorers with 31 points, which included what would turn out to be the game-winning basket when he finished a layup to give Canada a three-point lead with 1:30 remaining in overtime. Canada clamped down defensively from there on, culminating with Kelly Olynyk sealing the game with a block on Mo Wagner.

Olynyk did his part on both ends of the floor adding 21 points while shooting 54 percent from the floor in the win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander battled through a poor shooting night going 8-for-22 from the field to deliver 25 points.
Germany was led by Raptors guard Dennis Schroder who controlled the game until he was subbed out with 6:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. At the time, Germany led 91-86 — head coach Gordon Herbert apparently made the call Schroder had done enough, allowing the second unit to play meaningful minutes.
Schroder finished the contest with 26 points, eight assists while shooting 60 percent from the field.

1:49 p.m. — If you're wondering, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who was averaging 26-plus points in the two previous games, is having a stinker so far. Nine points on 3-for-12 shooting from the field in 18 mins. Canada down 72-64 with 4:32 to play in the third frame.

RJ Barrett is on a heater with 13 points while shooting 5-for-6 from the field in 14 minutes.

For Germany, Dennis Schroder is in complete control whenever he's on the floor. He has 15 points shooting 3-for-6 from the field. He also has six assists and has drawn five of the team's 16 fouls. Stopping Schroder in the second half will be key for the Canadians. With Dillon Brooks and Lu Dort on the team, Canada has options let's see how they use them. Germany leads 49-45.
1:20 p.m. — Zach Edey looks a bit tentative in his first minutes in this game. He's 7-4, 300-plus pounds, Canada would benefit if he played like it. With Edey in the game, Canada showed a bit of zone in the closing minutes of the first half.
1:15 p.m. — Zach Edey minutes!

12:54 p.m. — End of the first frame.
