RJ Barrett helps Team Canada advance to their first-ever FIBA World Cup semifinals

With a 100-89 victory over Slovenia, Canada has now set up a match against Serbia in the FIBA World Cup semifinals.

It was an entertaining first half of basketball on Wednesday morning as Canada and Slovenia found themselves deadlocked at 50 going into the break. Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic had 17 points and looked primed to lead his team to the next round.

Knicks forward RJ Barrett had a quiet first half, scoring six points and pulling down four rebounds.

With under a minute left in the first quarter, RJ floated to the rim for a dunk that helped Canada regain an early lead:
