The quarter finishes 43-17 for Canada.

The announcers made a couple of good points just now, as they noted how talented the Chinese have become with such a short time in the sport, with some impressive efforts and skill sets being evident on the court. They would certainly gain a lot of knowledge by playing both as a team more often internationally and also for a some of their players to play in an international league that will expose them to a higher, and more regular variety of higher-level competitors than what they would find domestically. Let's hope they reach out. I'm sure they'd find some help available.

The score is now 45-18 with about 7 minutes remaining in the game.
