The Canadian men's 3x3 team are off to the quarterfinals at a FIBA event in Macau after splitting their pool games on Saturday.

Canada began its day in Pool C with a tough 19-17 loss to the No. 6-ranked Riga team out of Latvia. The game was tightly contested throughout, with neither team leading by more than three at any point of the game.

With Canada down by two late, Bikramjit Gill iced a 2-point shot to knot it up at 19, only for Miroslav Pašajlić to make a 2-point shot of his own for Riga to secure the win at 21-19.

Gill led the way for Canada with nine points and four rebounds. WATCH | Canada takes on Riga: Next up for the Canadians was the No.
