The USA and Canada continued to roll on Saturday in the FIBA Americas U18 Championship in Colorado Springs, CO.
One day after hammering Uruguay by 96 points, the U.S. crushed Mexico 100-46.
Arizona freshman Stanley Johnson (Mater Dei H.S./Fullerton, Calif.) paced the U.S. attack with 18 points, Allonzo Trier (Montrose Christian/Seattle, Wash.) and Duke frosh Justise Winslow (St. John’s School/Houston, Texas) scored 14 apiece, Jalen Brunson (Adlai E. Stevenson H.S./Lincolnshire, Ill.) added 11 and Chase Jeter (Bishop Gorman H.S./Las Vegas, Nev.) was one board shy of a double-double after scoring 10 points and hauling in nine rebounds.
Additionally, Isaiah Briscoe (Roselle Catholic H.S./Union, N.J.), who grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds, Luke Kennard (Franklin H.S./Franklin, Ohio) and Stephen Zimmerman (Bishop Gorman H.S./Las Vegas, Nev.) chipped in eight points apiece.
Kennard, a 2015 Duke commit, was coming off a 30-point effort in Friday’s beatdown of Uruguay.
Meantime, Canada beat the Dominican Republic, 79-67, behind Huntington Prep wing Montaque Gill-Caesar’s 23 points – 16 of those coming in the fourth quarter – and four rebounds.
On Friday, Gill-Caesar went for 20 points and five rebounds in a 101-59 win over Brazil.
