The US turned up the defense and turned away Canada.
The Americans held the Canadians to just two field goals in a dominant second quarter, pulling away for a 113-63 victory on Saturday to remain unbeaten in the FIBA Americas tournament.
Also on Saturday, Leandro Barbosa increased his tournament-leading scoring average with 36 points and Brazil hung on for a 93-89 victory over the US Virgin Islands, Uruguay clung on in frantic final seconds to beat Puerto Rico 82-79 and Argentina downed Mexico 104-83.
Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points but the US couldn't shake Canada until it tightened its defense after a competitive first quarter.
Brazil's win set up a meeting of the "unbeatens" as Brazil (3-0) face the US (3-0) on the final day of the first round. The winner will be the top seed from the five-team group heading into the four-game second round. The top two finishers in the 10-team tournament earn berths at the Beijing Olympics.
The Americans reached 100 points less than two-and-a-half minutes into the fourth quarter and are averaging 116 in the tournament -- not far off the record 121.2 the "Dream Team" put up in 1992.

Uruguay (2-1) rallied behind Esteban Batista to overcome a 48-29 halftime deficit, taking the lead for good on Batista's second straight rebound basket that made it 78-76 with 1 minute, 2 seconds left.
US track and field athletes have about four dozen pieces to choose from when assembling their uniforms at the Olympics. The one grabbing the most attention is a high-cut leotard that barely covers the bikini line and has triggered debate between those who think it is sexist and others who say they do not need the Internet to make sure they have good uniforms. Among those critical or laughing at the uniforms included Paralympian Femita Ayanbeku, sprinter Britton Wilson and even athletes from other countries such as Britain’s Abigail Irozuru, who wrote on social media: “Was ANY female athlete consulted in
Four-time NBA all-star DeMarcus Cousins arrived in Taiwan with his family early yesterday to finish his renewed contract with the Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. Cousins initially played a four-game contract with the Leopards in January. On March 18, the Taoyuan-based team announced that Cousins had renewed his contract. “Hi what’s up Leopard fans, I’m back.

Former US Masters champion Zach Johnson was left embarrassed after a foul-mouthed response to ironic cheers from spectators after a triple bogey at Augusta National on Friday. Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, missed the cut after his three-over-par round of 75 left him on seven-over 151 for 36 holes, his six on the par-three 12th playing a big role in his downfall. Television footage showed Johnson reacting to sarcastic cheers and applause when he tapped in for the triple bogey by yelling: “Oh fuck off.” Such a response would be considered bad form in any golf tournament, but is particularly out of keeping
